Public bug reported:

If you have a nova-baremetal managed server, and you issue a nova
rebuild, it will reboot and write a new image onto the instance.

However, if that fails, nova-baremetal wipes away the reference to the
instance_uuid, which means you cannot fix the machine out of band.

This is particularly problematic if using the 'preserve_ephemeral'
capability of rebuild, as a failed rebuild may result in a loss sof the
ephemeral disk.
