+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.
