Re: [openstack-dev] [Ironic] [TripleO] How to gracefully quiesce a box?

I also feel that graceful power off is one of the feature that we want in ironic. But until then, you can see if the below works for you: You can set the following property to false which will prevent ironic to sync the power state. It will instead update the node with the latest power status

In my opinion, Ironic has a (better) way for doing deploy aborts. During a deploy in a real-world case, major chunk of time for the deploy is spent in booting up the bare metal. The state of node during this time is wait-call-back. It is possible today to abort the deploy when state of the node

+1 from me. Since we don't have ENROLL state as per the state machine, I think it should be MANAGEABLE when we enroll a node. At least, it can also prevent nodes getting into a ready state even before an operator getting hands on it. One comment on #2. Before we make a new client release with
