Public bug reported:

Description
===========
After one of the hypervisors have been shutdown the `openstack servel list` along with 'nova list' is displaying incorrect VM (compute instance) status. All the VM's under 'openstack server list --host <name_of_down_hypervisor>` suppose to report/display SHUTDOWN status, but they are displaying ACTIVE status instead. 

I have came across few old blogposts/articles touching on this subject:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1596171#c4
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2021-June/023182.html
They seems to hint that this behavior is expected. However they are quite old and I'm not sure if anything has change regarding this matter.


Steps to reproduce
==================
1.) Shut down one of the hypervisors/baremetal hosts via IPMI.
2.) Run `openstack hypervisor list` => the result is correct and one of the hypervisors is displayed as down; remaining hypervisors are up as expected;
3.) From other hypervisor in the cluster: 
    Run `openstack server list` along with `openstack server list --host <name_of_down_hypervisor`: the VM's under hypervisor which us currently down are reported as 'ACTIVE'. 
	Any attemp to ping or ssh to server are unsuccessfull
4.) Bring the downed hypervisor up, run `kolla-ansible recover`
5.) Run on recently powered-on host: `openstack server list` - the VM's are still reporting ACTIVE status despite being unavailable.
6.) After running manually `openstack server stop <name>` once the hypervisor has been brought up, the command ends up successfully and VM's status change to 'SHUTOFF'. Once this is done, the subsequent commands on VM are successful. 

Expected result
===============
`openstack server list` is displaying VM's with SHUTDOFF status if such a VM is located under powered-off hypervisor. 

Actual result
=============
`openstack server list` is displaying VM's with ACTIVE status, despite being unaccessible and their hypervisor brought down. 

Environment
===========
1.) Victoria installed via kolla-ansible
