Unified RMA Procedure for Planned and Failure Events on Bare Metal

For the SMI version 2020.02.2.41 and later, the RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) procedure for planned maintenance and any unplanned node failure events is unified for the SMI Bare Metal stacked cluster. The same procedure is applicable for both primary and worker nodes. This feature simplifies the automation and MOP requirements for both NSO and user.
