             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
          Components: Management Server
    Affects Versions: 4.2.1
         Environment: Build from 4.2.-forward
            Reporter: Sangeetha Hariharan
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 4.2.1


Restarting management server when volume Snapshot is still in progress for root volume of a VM , then there is no way to restart VM since the startVM job is stuck forever since the volume is in "Snapshoting" state.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

Deploy a VM.
Initiate snapshot for root volume of this VM.

When VM snapshot is in progress , stop the management server.

Start Management server.

Stop this VM.
Start this VM.

VM will never transition to "Starting" state and continues to be in "Stopped" state.

The start VM async job never completes and hits an infinite loop in this case.
