:::warning
Rebooting or stopping an instance must always be done through the OpenStack API (or the Horizon interface), not from within the operating system using commands such as `systemctl reboot` or `systemctl poweroff`. An action performed directly from the OS is not propagated to OpenStack, which would continue to consider the instance as active, leaving it in an inconsistent state between its actual status and the one known by the platform.

Suggest workaround would be to poweroff the node with ironic and poweron again so Ironic push the node into unlock_wait state
