IPI

What happened?

One of my hosts, being deployed in IPv6 mode failed to have bios setup to use IPv6 for PXE and was using IPv4 instead.

What did you expect to happen?

It would be great if installer could check as part of the pre-validation steps if the Bios  settings are compatible with defined installation configuration to avoid host installation errors later on
