Also, the avoid set is flushed when you restart the management service. So it might be easier to start tailing a log, restart the management service, and watch it fail and stick the host in the avoid set. Then you can more easily see how it got there in the first place.

There must be logs indicating that the host is put in avoid set. Can you paste logs before this as well Also the avoid set gets reset after the vm deployment operation (which consists of certain tries.)
