When no boot mode is explicitly passed to iLO drivers, it picks default boot mode based on series of factors like, pending boot mode setting, UEFI boot mode support on the node. This causes confusion to the users as these factors are node specific and beyond user's control. User expects a predictable behavior when no boot mode is explicitly passed. A new configuration parameter '[ilo]/default_boot_mode' has been added to specify default boot mode. It would be used if no boot mode is explicitly passed to iLO drivers.

fixes:
|
|
- When no boot mode is explicitly set on a node using
|
|
an iLO driver, ironic automatically picks a boot
|
|
mode based on hardware capabilities. This confuses
|
|
deployers, as these factors are system specific and
|
|
not configurable. In order to ensure predictable
|
|
behavior, a new configuration parameter,
|
|
``[ilo]/default_boot_mode``, was added to allow
|
|
deployers to explicitly set a default. The default
|
|
value of this option keeps behavior consistent for
|
|
existing deployments.
