--- upgrade: - | Operators utilizing ``grub`` for PXE booting, typically with UEFI, should change their deployed master PXE configuration file provided for nodes PXE booting using grub. Ironic 11.1 now writes both MAC address and IP address based PXE confiuration links for network booting via ``grub``. The grub variable should be changed from ``$net_default_ip`` to ``$net_default_mac``. IP address support is deprecated and will be removed in the Stein release. deprecations: - | Support for ironic to link PXE boot configuration files via the assigned interface IP address has been deprecated. This option was only the case when ``[pxe]ipxe_enabled`` was set to ``false`` and the node was being deployed using UEFI. fixes: - | Fixes support for ``grub`` based UEFI PXE booting by enabling links to the PXE configuration files to be written using the MAC address of the node in addition to the interface IP address. If the ``[dhcp]dhcp_provider`` option is set to ``none``, only the MAC based links will be created.
