Description

When Nexus observes or is told that a VMM is unexpectedly no longer resident on a sled where it lived previously, Nexus takes control of the state machine (assuming the sled has abandoned it) and moves the VMM to Failed. Similar logic applies to migrations: if a migration-participant VMM has disappeared, then the sled has also abdicated the state machine for that side of the migration, and Nexus should also move that migration-half to Failed.
