JBAS010986: Host-Controller is already shutdown

Issue

• When starting JBoss we receive the following warning and the JVM (server-one) does not start:

Internal Server Error
{
    "outcome" => "failed",
    "failure-description" => "JBAS014749: Operation handler failed: JBAS010986: Host-Controller is already shutdown.",
    "rolled-back" => true
}

• I receive the error while trying to manually start server-one in the JBoss admin console. However when I review the host-controller.log I see the following:

10:04:33,007 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation] (HttpManagementService-threads - 2) JBAS014612: Operation ("start") failed - address: ([
    ("host" => "master"),
    ("server-config" => "server-one")
]): java.lang.IllegalStateException: JBAS010986: Host-Controller is already shutdown.^M
