<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> IMO the decision should be pending on platform capability. Some platforms can stage firmware update online or update firmware online. Therefore, it is fine to update firmware
on those platforms even when instances are running on them. IMO Ironic should let platform to decide whether it can update firmware or stage firmware update when a node already has an instance on it. I think this can be done via an API. Thanks!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
