  MAAS fails to power up machines when installing a node.  This is not happening every single time so this is a racy issue.
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ 
+ This affects corner cases when nodes are told by MAAS to be started when
+ they haven't finished their shut down process. However, the fix enables
+ MAAS to tell the nodes to make the power action regardless of their
+ current state.
+ 
+ This is a corner case because before deploying nodes maas ensures that
+ all nodes are turned off, however, there can be cases on which nodes
+ have not finished their turn off process after commissioning, and the
+ nodes are told to be deployed.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ To reproduce, simply do the following:
+ 
+ 1. Install maas and enlist/commission IPMI nodes.
+ 2. turn on manually one of the nodes.
+ 3. With maas, deploy the node.
+ 4. With the fix, the node will be rebooted and the installation will proceed. Without the fix the installation will never start.
