Hi,

     I read the etherpad for firmware update.    I have a comment:

*         if the node already has an instance on it, do we want to be able to 
update the firmware
o   tenant shouldn't care/know about firmware updates
o   need to migrate off first, so no
o   i.e. we can't disrupt the tenant

   IMO the decision should be pending on platform capability.  Some platforms 
can stage firmware update online or update firmware online.  Therefore, it is 
fine to update firmware on those platforms even when instances are running on 
them.  IMO Ironic should let platform to decide whether it can update firmware  
or stage firmware update when a node already has an instance on it.  I think 
this can be done via an API.  Thanks!

Regards,
WH
