Doc Text:	Previously, the iPXE driver had a conditional that prevented nodes from being configured with UEFI boot mode. Consequently, iPXE driver users could not configure their nodes with UEFI and were forced to use the BIOS instead. With this update, the conditional was removed, and users of the iPXE driver can now deploy their nodes in UEFI mode.	Story Points:	---

Description Lucas Alvares Gomes 2015-12-14 18:14:56 UTC

Description of problem:
Ironic has a conditional preventing configuring a node with UEFI when iPXE is enabled [0], that's not needed since iPXE already supports UEFI [1].

The only difference to use UEFI with iPXE is to use the ipxe.efi ROM instead of the undionly.kpxe.

[0] https://github.com/openstack/ironic/blob/1d6f6586abe4d6df5c477cfaef16783163a69f93/ironic/drivers/modules/pxe.py#L407-L414

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
8.0

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Update the nova flavor with boot_mode=uefi

$ nova flavor-key baremetal set capabilities:boot_mode="uefi"

2.Add the boot_mode:uefi capability in Ironic

$ ironic node-update node-0 add properties/capabilities="boot_mode:uefi"

3. Validate/Try to deploy a node

Actual results:
The deployment of the node fails saying "iPXE is enabled, but cannot be used with node <node uuid> configured to use UEFI boot"

Expected results:
Deployment should start

Step 2 should be

ironic node-update node-0 add properties/capabilities="boot_mode:uefi,boot_option:local"
