Used ping module to rest network connectivity and ipmi_power to power on the server.

Problem is when server is not reachable on network, registering to ping output fail , hence next play do not start on failed server.

Also tried to used meta: clear_host_errors but no success

The documentation has a page on error handling
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_error_handling.html

just set ignore_errors: yes on the task
