RHOSO18 uses metal3 for baremetal node provisioning for EDPM node.
When NIC hardware issue for ctlplane NIC happens, deprovisioning process doesn't move forward when automatedCleaningMode: metadata which is default.
If the provisioning method is virtualmedia, bootMACAddress is used to identify the NIC for communication between ironic and ironic-python-agent.
Deporvisioning process tries to boot the system with image mode and wipe out some data from the system.
This uses the same process of provisioning.
Unfortunately, current meatl3 doesn't allow to update bootMACAddress once it is configured for virtual media.
So, all users who hit the hardware failure of ctlplane NIC hit this issue.
We should add a note that they need to patch automatedCleaningMode to disabled.
