Bug Description
When using IPA I'm seeing issues on some of my machines (2 of them) which after a soft power off don't come back online. This occurs even though I've configured the machines to POWER ON after a power outage (the normal way you would configure machines that use an external power adapter). These machines both worked great with the previous non-IPA deployment ramdisk and Ironic conductor code.
I've tested the machines manually and soft powering them down (regardless of use of Ironic) requires you manually hit the power button, meaning an external power adapter is pretty much useless.
To be clear the soft power off I'm speaking of is the one in the reboot_
This is clearly a BIOS vendor bug... but the code path here is new and because there is no way to disable the soft power off via Ironic. I'm working through the issue with the hardware vendor but wanted to report this in Ironic as well because the code path here is new (only an IPA deployment tries this). I'm wondering if adding a simple option to control this makes sense for Ironic? Perhaps a soft_poweroff_
