Bug Description
Hello,
Using MAAS 2.7.1
When MAAS UI is used to power on the server, server powers on but also attempts to perform PXE boot.
PXE Network boot is removed from boot order in bios and can be only triggered by MAAS during commissioning, testing, deploying and releasing.
I am confused to discover that power-on action in maas also forces PXE boot on a server. This is not expected behavior as it is not mentioned in the documentation.
If fix for it would break compatibility others rely on, I am fine with having an optional parameter to turn this feature "off".
For now, please clarify what is the intended behavior of maas "power on" and how is it related to PXE boot ?

Indeed. Currently we always set the boot method to pxe when powering on the machines. We should only do this when the machine is in a state where we expect it to PXE boot. I.e. we shouldn't change the boot order if the machine is in a Deployed state.
