--- fixes: - | Provides a workaround for hardware that does not support persistent boot device setting with the ``redfish`` hardware type. When such situation is detected, ironic will fall back to one-time boot device setting, restoring it on every reboot. issues: - | Some redfish-enabled hardware is known not to support persistent boot device setting that is used by the Bare Metal service for deployed instances. The ``redfish`` hardware type tries to work around this problem, but rebooting such an instance in-band may cause it to boot incorrectly. A predictable boot order should be configured in the node's boot firmware to avoid issues and at least metadata cleaning must be enabled. See `this mailing list thread `_ for technical details.
