It seems that the mask has set an incorrect property when trying to retrieve the servers and their power status.
$ slcli server list --columns=id,hostname,domain,power_state
SoftLayerAPIError(SoftLayer_Exception_WebService_ObjectMask): Property 'powerState' not valid for 'SoftLayer_Hardware_Server'.
softlayer-python version (slcli --version): 5.6.0 and 5.6.4
