Houston EG VM non-responsive

[Josh Smift]

I can't ping (or otherwise connect to) one of my Houston ExoGENI VMs,
houston-eg-ps105-b aka 129.7.98.4, on either its control plane or
dataplane interface. sliverstatus thinks it's fine, or at least 'ready'.
Is there any way for me, or a Houston EG admin, to bring it back to life?

If not, I can just delete and re-create it, but I don't want to do that if
anyone wants to take a look, try to debug what happened, and/or try to
revive it.

ExoGENI folks (or anyone else, but I'm guessing no one else), let me know?

I've now got three other Houston EG VMs in the same state (can't ping the
dataplane or control plane interface, sliverstatus says they're up and
ready):

Host houston-eg-ps105-a
HostName 129.7.98.5

Host houston-eg-ps105-b
HostName 129.7.98.4

Host houston-eg-ps110-a
HostName 129.7.98.7

Host houston-eg-ps110-b
HostName 129.7.98.6

These are in GENI slices urn:publicid:IDN+ch.geni.net:gpo-infra+slice+ps105
and urn:publicid:IDN+ch.geni.net:gpo-infra+slice+ps110 (two VMs in each,
probably obvious which ones :^).

Worth trying to debug, or should I just delete and re-create?

Unless someone wants me to keep them around, my own timing with Plastic
Slices runs is likely to lead me to delete and re-create them tonight or
tomorrow morning -- so if anyone *does* want me to keep them around for
debugging, let me know soon.
