Ooh, lots of activity while I typed my last comment. This may be beating a dead horse, but concerning comment #42, Andres, I tried that command and got similar output:
$ ipmitool -H 10.20.30.13 -I lanplus -U user -P pass chassis bootdev pxe options=persistent,efiboot Set Boot Device to pxe $ ipmitool -H 10.20.30.13 -I lanplus -U user -P pass chassis bootparam get 5 Boot parameter version: 1 Boot parameter 5 is valid/unlocked Boot parameter data: a004000000 Boot Flags : - Boot Flag Valid - Options apply to only next boot - BIOS EFI boot - Boot Device Selector : Force PXE - Console Redirection control : System Default - BIOS verbosity : Console redirection occurs per BIOS configuration setting (default) - BIOS Mux Control Override : BIOS uses recommended setting of the mux at the end of POST On the node, efibootmgr showed an unchanged boot order, and it continued to boot from the hard disk without PXE-booting. What's more, on reboot I noticed that ipmitool claimed the system would boot in legacy mode: $ ipmitool -H 10.20.30.13 -I lanplus -U user -P pass chassis bootparam get 5 Boot parameter version: 1 Boot parameter 5 is valid/unlocked Boot parameter data: 0000000000 Boot Flags : - Boot Flag Invalid - Options apply to only next boot - BIOS PC Compatible (legacy) boot - Boot Device Selector : No override - Console Redirection control : System Default - BIOS verbosity : Console redirection occurs per BIOS configuration setting (default) - BIOS Mux Control Override : BIOS uses recommended setting of the mux at the end of POST (Note the "BIOS PC Compatible (legacy) boot" line.) On reboot, the system booted in EFI mode. I see similar things on other nodes that are configured to boot in EFI mode. Thus, you really can't trust what IPMI tells you (or what you tell it) about boot mode or boot device on an EFI-based computer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1642298 Title: Grub package upgrades overwrites NVRAM, causing MAAS boot order to be overwritten.
