the annoying thing is that this also happens during reinstallations. i can understand that this is the default behaviour, as it makes sense; but is there a way to always keep pxe boot at the top (ie do what the admin configured: pxe boot first, disk boot second)? if not, let me put on my "legacy bios forever" tshirt again... it is really really annoying that this gets reset Also are you using a RAID controller? yes and no, we see it in both cases. > Thanks, > Elie > > -----Original Message----- > From: linux-poweredge-bounces-Lists On Behalf Of S1, Vivek > Sent: Friday, March 16, 2018 4:29 AM > To: linux-poweredge-Lists <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Linux-PowerEdge] uefi boot order changing > > Dell - Internal Use - Confidential > > Hello stijn, > > Would it be possible to share the boot manager screen with current list items > in it for understanding more. > > Thanks > Vivek > > ------------------------------ > > Message: 2 > Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2018 13:52:24 +0100 > From: Stijn De Weirdt <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Linux-PowerEdge] uefi boot order changing > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 > > hi all, > > we see an issue with the boot order in uefi (now in idrac9 on m640, but we > also had this on our m630): it's changing for no real obvious reason, and > doing the wrong thing in the end. > > the problem is that we want to do pxe boot first, then disk boot. > > however, under certain circumstances, the order changes. in particular, when > we reinstall a node, it flips to disk-pxe. we think that it is because the > disks gets reinstalled, and uefi sees the new boot disk, and decides that > since the old boot disk is no more, it falls back to some default order. > > however, the right thing to do would be to keep the order the same as much as > possible, in particular, the pxe boot should always be kept first. > > is anyone experiencing similar issues? or knows the correct reason why we are > seeing this? or has some tips how to fix this? > > many thanks, > > stijn > > > > ------------------------------ > > Subject: Digest Footer > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-PowerEdge mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge > > ------------------------------ > > End of Linux-PowerEdge Digest, Vol 166, Issue 1 > *********************************************** > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-PowerEdge mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-PowerEdge mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge > _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge
