Ironic periodically polls the nodes to learn their real state. The explanation 
can be:
1. It takes some time, so maybe you'll see the update in a while.
2. The operator has disabled the periodic sync in the configuration.
3. IPMI/Redfish/whatever driver you have provides wrong information.
4. IPMI/Redfish/whatever is no longer accessible, and ironic will soon report 
power_state=None and maintenance mode.
