Previously, during _sync_node_power_state, when a node's power state did not match the expected state, the DB was always updated and a warning logged. This patch causes the node's power state to instead be set to the expected value, by default, and adds a CONF option to enable the old behavior.

Ironic
Ironic is an Incubated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
