VMRM Discover/Verify - VM_CONFIG_COLLECTION_FAILURE for one LPar must not impact others

We've VMRM 'HA' cluster among 2 Hosts. I had 5 VMs as 'managed', then i ran a Hostgroup discover + verify. Due to a HW failure the 'discover' failed for 2 VMs with event VM_CONFIG_COLLECTION_FAILURE, but was successful for the other 3 VMs. At the end of the discover + verify however all 5 VMs were in READY state.
My desire would be to have the VMs not affected by the HW failure in READY_TO_MOVE state instead, so that i can avoid having to 'unmanage' the 2 VMs affected by the HW issue and then re-run discover + verify to have the 3 VMs in READY_TO_MOVE.
All details in Case TS007342720

    Once after discovery is success, then it moves to verification. Verification moves LPARs state into READY_TO_MOVE.
    But since the discovery itself failed, it is not moving to verification process.
    It is critical to pass discovery process, since HA cluster at VIOS level creation and trunk, client adapter creations happen automatically.
