Title:
  ipmi cmds run too fast, cause BMC to run out of resources

Status in OpenStack Bare Metal Provisioning Service (Ironic):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When using Nova baremetal the IPMI power commands are still proving to
  be too fast. I routinely get stack traces that look like this when
  deleting baremetal instances:

  ----

  The root cause seems to be in the _power_off routine which repeatedly
  calls "power status" to determine if the instance has properly powered
  down after issuing the "power off". Once this fails simply resetting
  the instance state and retrying the delete again usually fixes the
  issue.

  On the CLI the same commands always seem to work as well.

  It does seem like our retry code is still too aggressive and we need
  to wait longer for each IPMI retry.
