For the M610 using version 1.5+bzr1977-0ubuntu3 I think I found a reason
why it refused to power up via the UI after enlistment.

At enlistment time, the Power Driver settings for that BMC are
improperly being identified as IPMI 2.0, when they should be IPMI 1.5.
If I go and set the IPMI Power Driver in the UI for the node to 1.5 and
leave the maas-generated username and password alone, then the machine
will power up when I click "commission node".

The odd thing, though, seems to be that after commissioning the node,
the IPMI power settings do not stick...they fall back to IPMI 2.0 from
1.5 and it looks like I have a new maas-generated password on the BMC.
I have to set it back to 1.5 every time before trying to power the node
up again via the UI.

I also saw this with a PowerEdge M915.

So, it looks as if MAAS is setting the BMCs to IPMI 2.0 no matter what?
