This change documents that behavior.

To mitigate this, we suggest using disks with support for cryptographic ATA Security Erase, as typically the erase_devices step in the deploy driver takes the longest time to complete of all cleaning steps. +Why can't I power on/off a node while it's cleaning? +---------------------------------------------------- +During cleaning, nodes may be performing actions that shouldn't be +interrupted, such as BIOS or Firmware updates. As a result, operators are +forbidden from changing power state via the Ironic API while a node is +cleaning. + Troubleshooting ===============
