When we got our first 5465 Lenovo nodes, we changed the noderes netboot
attribute from pxe to xnba
and also changed BootModes.SystemBootMode to “UEFI Mode”. Even though Legacy
Only is first in
the boot order, they still are able to pxe boot just fine. That is the only
difference I see, maybe worth a quick
try to see if it makes any difference in behavior. We don’t have disks in any
of our NextScale nodes, so
I can’t try it out in our environment.
