Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix: fix hpilo_boot.py module failing when trying to
 power on an already powered-on server

For this module to be idempotent, it should be successful when trying to reach a power state which is already there.

It was already the case for "poweroff", however when running the module with "boot_once" state, it was failing if the server was already powered_on, which is not an idempotent behavior
