Re: [xcat-user] problem when booting node from disk after install

[Arif Ali]

Hi Rich,

I had similar problems, in a recent install, and I found that by 
default, it was installing on legacy, and no uefi stuff was happening. 
The boot order was set to only do uefi, and therefore the machine would 
not boot. I now, instead to "rinstall  -u", to force to 
install over uefi.


@devs, is there a way to force the -u all the time? without having to 
set this manually on the CLI?

I think this may have been discussed here previously??

Any help would be appreciated.

[xcat-user] problem when booting node from disk after install

[Rich Sudlow]

We are installing a number of Lenovo nx360m5 nodes -
they're set to network boot they come up - they build ok
but after they reboot the they're told to boot from the
local disk by dhcp they don't.  If I manually switch the
node to boot from disk that works fine.

I think this may have been discussed here previously??

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rich
