If a LOCK admin command from PLM is issued on a HE or EE, CLM sends a tracking request to AMF to validate and start the shutdown. When the START track is sent CLM waits for a response from AMF. Because the request is coming from PLM, the time supervision is set to UNKNOWN, which means the response has no time limit.
If the node crashes before AMF responds to CLM, then PLM never gets a response from CLM and doesn't transition the EE or HE to LOCKED state. CLM needs to send a response to PLM if it detects node down and there is a pending PLM operation on that node, and no response has yet been sent back to PLM.
