dellemc_change_power_state fails if host is already on

[dmc5179]

When using the following tasks:

- name: Configure Server Power Setting - On
  delegate_to: localhost
  dellemc_change_power_state:
    idrac_ip:   "{{ idrac_ip }}"
    idrac_user: "{{ idrac_user }}"
    idrac_password:  "{{ idrac_password }}"
    change_power: "On"

I get the following error message if the server is already on:

MSG:

{'StatusCode': 409, 'Status': 'Failed', 'Data': {'Status': 'Failed', 'Message': "returned status code doesn't match with the expected success code", 'StatusCode': 409}, 'error': {'error': {'@Message.ExtendedInfo': [{'Message': 'Server is already powered ON.', 'MessageArgs': [], 'MessageArgs@odata.count': 0, 'MessageId': 'IDRAC.1.6.PSU501', 'RelatedProperties': [], 'RelatedProperties@odata.count': 0, 'Resolution': 'No response action is required.', 'Severity': 'Informational'}], 'code': 'Base.1.2.GeneralError', 'message': 'A general error has occurred. See ExtendedInfo for more information'}}, 'retval': True, 'Message': 'none'}

This shouldn't happen. If the server is already on then this tasks should succeed. For example, I can use the VMWare ansible modules to tell a VM to poweron many times. The first time causes the VM to turn on. All subsequent times result in no change and no error.

@dmc5179 We will analyze and get back on this

@dmc5179 We have replaced 'dellemc_change_power_state' module with newer module 'redfish_powerstate'. Verify this issue in newer module.

@dmc5179 Can you please verify and close this issue?

@dmc5179 This has been fixed module 'redfish_powerstate' as stated by @Sajna-Shetty. Hence closing this issue. Thank You
