| Doc Text: |
Cause: During deployment, Supermicro nodes require the setting of the boot mode along with the boot device when using Redfish, otherwise it reverts the boot mode to "Legacy".
Consequence: Cannot deploy Supermicro nodes using Redfish.
Fix: Set the boot mode in Supermicro if it got changed after setting the boot device.
Result: Can properly deploy Supermicro nodes.

Ironic-conductor log file setting node to PXE boot which doesn't take affect
Looks like the issue is that we need to set the mode to UEFI prior to PXE booting as it ends up reverting back to Legacy - 'BootSourceOverrideMode': 'Legacy',. Working on a patch. The Supermicro seems to require the setting of the boot mode along with the boot device when using Redfish, otherwise it reverts the boot mode to "Legacy". Can illustrate this with a simple case: Start with these 2 settings for $ curl -k --user XXXX https://10.1.41.239/redfish/v1/Systems/1/ | jq . "Boot": { "BootSourceOverrideEnabled": "Continuous", "BootSourceOverrideMode": "UEFI", "BootSourceOverrideTarget": "Pxe", Then change only BootSourceOverrideEnabled and BootSourceOverrideTarget $ curl -k --user XXXX -X PATCH -d '{"Boot": {"BootSourceOverrideTarget": "Pxe", "BootSourceOverrideEnabled": "Once"}}' https://10.1.41.239/redfish/v1/Systems/1/ The mode has flipped to Legacy $ curl -k --user XXXX -X PATCH -d '{"Boot": {"BootSourceOverrideTarget": "Pxe", "BootSourceOverrideEnabled": "Once"}}' https://10.1.41.239/redfish/v1/Systems/1/ "Boot": { "BootSourceOverrideEnabled": "Once", "BootSourceOverrideMode": "Legacy", "BootSourceOverrideTarget": "Pxe", We've confirmed with Supermicro that the boot mode ("BootSourceOverrideMode") must be set in the Redfish request when setting the device ( "BootSourceOverrideTarget" and "BootSourceOverrideEnabled"). This is different than other vendors like Dell and HPE which require that the mode NOT be set in the same request - see https://review.opendev.org/#/c/710846/.
I have a patch upstream that will fix the issue for Supermicro and not break other vendors - https://review.opendev.org/#/c/758856/. We've verified that nodes boot properly to PXE with this patch. It's still pending upstream reviews.
