I guess probably someone has never used the fake power driver with devstack. :) If a node's power state is None, it will be ignored by Nova: https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/ironic/driver.py#L171 And the fake power driver doesn't set the power state to on/off itself: https://github.com/openstack/ironic/blob/master/ironic/drivers/modules/fake.py#L43 We should probably fix this by changing it to: return task.node.power_state or states.POWER_ON In the meantime, an easy workaround would be: ironic node-set-power-state <uuid> on ironic node-set-power-state <uuid> off Which would have the driver 'remember' the power state is currently off, allowing Nova to pick up the resources.
