##### SUMMARY
When a kvm node crashes (no maintenance) the VM's running on that node will still show the status "Running" in the dashboard.
When accessing the VM itself you get the error message:
`The Control Plane Status of this instance is Offline. Some actions on this instance will fail, if so please wait a while and retry.`
When the kvm node restarts, after some time the VM's on it will show as "Stopped" and will have to be started manually.
##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE
~~~
Force reboot without maintenance a kvm node that run's compute resources
~~~
##### EXPECTED RESULTS
~~~
I would expect the VM's to show as Stopped/Crashed as soon as the kvm node goes down
~~~
##### ACTUAL RESULTS
~~~
VM looks as running:

~~~
VM details says there is an issue with control plane:

Node is offline:

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start in the dashboard and VM details views, reproducing the issue by force-rebooting a KVM node without maintenance. Trace how the offline control-plane state is reflected in the VM status; done means affected VMs promptly show Stopped or Crashed and remain consistent after the node restarts.
