Description Bob Fournier 2022-01-28 18:41:08 UTC

Description of problem:

Currently the BMO reads the BIOS config settings from Ironic in the HSF controller reconciler and updates the status in the resource along with the LastUpdated flag. Once the resource is updated it will cause the reconciler to run again (although not a 2nd time because the LastUpdated flag will be the same).

This should be avoided by comparing the new settings to the old settings and old saving and updating the LastUpdated flag when they are different.
