Some more information I recorded today from testing

- Any "Commission" or "Deployment" action from MAAS (triggered via IPMI v2) 
causes the server to go into a erratical reboot loop
- After some reboot cycles (4-5) the server powers off.
- This behavior is present to 3 other R610 servers with exactly the same 
hardware configuration.
- Due to the reboot-loop, MAAS cannot communicate with the server - hence it 
reports that "Commissioning" fails

- I managed to Commission the server manually as follows:
   - While the server is physiallcy power-off, I go to the MAAS WebGUI and 
change its Power Mode to "Manual"
   - Then select and execute "Abort" commissioning
   - Then select and execute "Commissioning'
   - Then physically power-on the server (manually press Power button)
   - Server boots normally (no loops), contacts MAAS and gets the Ubuntu 
commissioning image
   - After a while, MAAS reports that the server is now Commissioned
   - The server is now accessible via SSH
