+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1945700 +++ We have a report upstream of problems with Dell systems when changing boot mode because of the fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1892302. This fix (https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/ironic/+/758856) syncs the boot mode after setting the boot device. On Dell systems this can cause problems when changing the boot mode because the change is cached. From the upstream report: ========================= Node deployment failed for cross boot mode scenario using redfish driver This issue is only observed for cross-boot mode scenarios i.e. uefi-bios or bios-uefi. Configurational Details • iDRAC Model : PowerEdge XE2420 • BIOS version : 1.3.3 • Boot Mode :- UEFI in script and BIOS in idrac Steps to reproduce: a. Create node on devstack using create_node.sh (make appropriate changes in CLI for node creation). ./create_node.sh Provision state should be in Available mode, after node get created. b. Once Node is available then Deploy the node Command to Execute :- openstack baremetal node deploy c: Keep track on log - sudo journalctl -f -u devstack d. Expected Result :- Once node is deployed, provision state should be in Active Mode Observations:- In case of cross boot mode using redfish drivers , while deploying the node it get failed . BIOS is getting displayed in pending jobs in job queue and Console power state remains off . Note- This is a regression issue. It occurs beacause of an upstream change to ironic : "https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/ironic/+/758856" It was working fine with iDRAC f/w 4.22.00.00. LOG: Redfish exception occurred. Error: Setting boot mode to uefi failed for node Error: HTTP PATCH https://192.168.110.22/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1 returned code 400.
