There are several 'Power on' boot types represented in data/boot_table.json.  Let's take the 'REST Power On' as an example:

    "REST Power On": {
        "start": {
            "rest": "^1$",
            "chassis": "^Off$",
            "boot_progress": "^Off|Unspecified$",
            "operating_system": "^Inactive$",
            "host": "^Off$"
        },
        "end": {
            "rest": "^1$",
            "chassis": "^On$",
            "boot_progress": "^FW Progress, Starting OS|OSStart$",
            "operating_system": "^BootComplete$",
            "host": "^Running$",
            "os_ping": "^1$",
            "os_login": "^1$",
            "os_run_cmd": "^1$"
        },
        "bmc_reboot": 0,
        "method_type": "keyword",
        "method": "Initiate Host Boot  wait=${0}",
        "lib_file_path": "state_manager.robot"
    },

The end requirements indicate that the operating_system value must be BootComplete.  I've never seen this fail because the operating_system state was "Standby".  Unless you foresee a change coming that necessitate this, I'd be inclined to leave it as is.  As the saying goes "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Hi Michael,

Refer to the method readHostState() in repo phosphor-logging. The description 
"For host on, looks for the values of 'BootComplete' or 'Standby'
in the OperatingSystemState property ..."
So, I'm wonder that if the value of the key "operating_system" can be
"^BootComplete|Standby$" for action "Power On" in the boot_table.json?

Thanks
Best Regards,
Tony
