UEFI boot results in the iDRAC returning an error.

Redfish management interface failure to set boot device
-------------------------------------------------------
When using the ``idrac-redfish`` management interface with certain iDRAC
firmware versions (at least versions 2.70.70.70, 4.00.00.00, and
4.10.10.10) and attempting to set the boot device on a baremetal server
that is configured to UEFI boot, the iDRAC will return the following
error::
Unable to Process the request because the value entered for the
parameter Continuous is not supported by the implementation.
To work around this issue, set the ``force_persistent_boot_device`` parameter
in ``driver-info`` on the node to ``Never`` by running the following command
from the command line:
.. code-block:: bash
openstack baremetal node set --driver-info \
force_persistent_boot_device=Never ${node_uuid}
