The unreachable hosts should be treated as FAILED status.
Shut down compute-0 and ran a validation. It passed and compute-0 was shown in green even though it was unreachable: openstack tripleo validator run --plan overcloud --validation repos +--------------------------------------+-------------+--------+--------------------------+-------------------------------------+-------------------+-------------+ | UUID | Validations | Status | Host_Group | Status_by_Host | Unreachable_Hosts | Duration | +--------------------------------------+-------------+--------+--------------------------+-------------------------------------+-------------------+-------------+ | 1a2a6531-172a-4257-92a0-319b92e50e97 | repos | PASSED | undercloud, allovercloud | compute-0, controller-0, undercloud | compute-0 | 0:00:31.755 | +--------------------------------------+-------------+--------+--------------------------+-------------------------------------+-------------------+-------------+
