While testing decommissioning on a GB200 managed host, I noticed it remained off after it went through the PowerCyclingHost state so it got stuck in the state machine until I manually powered it back on. Looks like AcPowercycle maps to ForceOff if the BMC doesn't support power cycle.

In this PR I add a new state to power on the machine if it remains off for a certain amount of time.

ACPowercycle can leave the host off, so OOB rediscovery never starts.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a decommissioning stage that powers hosts back on after the power cycle.
    • Hosts proceed only after powering on successfully; hosts already on or still powering on are handled appropriately.
    • Added a five-minute service-level target for powering hosts back on.
    • The workflow waits for confirmation that the host has powered on before continuing.
  • Monitoring
    • Added metrics for tracking the host power-on stage during decommissioning.

Walkthrough

The decommissioning workflow now includes a PoweringOnHost state. The controller checks the Redfish host power state before advancing. The API model defines a five-minute SLA, and metrics include the new phase.

Changes

Decommissioning host power-on

Layer / File(s) Summary
Power-on state and SLA contracts
crates/api-model/src/machine/mod.rs, crates/api-model/src/machine/slas.rs
The API model defines DecommissioningState::PoweringOnHost, its display label, SLA classification, and five-minute SLA constant.
Power-on execution and observability
crates/machine-controller/src/handler.rs, crates/machine-controller/src/handler/decommissioning.rs, crates/machine-controller/src/io.rs
The controller dispatches the new state. The handler advances when the host is On, waits when the host is PoweringOn, and preserves existing behavior for other power states. Metrics report the new phase.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 496f1

The decommissioning flow now persists a new power-on state and may issue a host power-on command. The change is mergeable with owner awareness of rollback compatibility, configuration limits relative to the five-minute SLA, and preventing repeated power commands during concurrent or interrupted processing.

P1 Badge Keep retrying until the host is actually powering on

When a BMC accepts the On request but does not actually begin the transition, this branch immediately leaves PoweringOnHost. WaitingForOobDhcpAcknowledgement only polls suppression records, so no later iteration checks the host or reissues the command, and decommissioning can still complete with the host powered off. Return a wait outcome after issuing On and transition only after a subsequent power-state read reports On or PoweringOn.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Avoid overlapping On with an in-flight power-off during decommissioning.
Reissue On until Redfish reports On or PoweringOn so decommissioning
does not advance after a no-op power request.

Yeah, probably. Done

Leave PoweringOnHost only after Redfish reports a stable On state.
