.. note::
Prior to attempting aborting a servicing operation on a node either in
``service wait`` or ``service failed`` state, the user must check the
remote console of the machine as a precaution and ensure there is no active
firmware update running on the node. Aborting service may result in a power
cycle operation which may interrupt the running update, causing
irreversible damage to the hardware.
Once it is confirmed no update operation is running, using ``abort`` verb
is not expected to cause any issues.
