There is another setting that set the boot mode to Legacy โ it is the network
PXE boot (found under network in the BIOS), make sure it is set to UEFI.
If you canโt find it let me know and I will provide the exact ASU setting (I am
not logged in to my lab currently).
It sounds very much like an issue I had so hopefully it should solve the issue
Sorry if I missed anything in the thread and my suggestion is stupid ๐

Subject: Re: [xcat-user] NextScale nodes not booting from the disk
I've removed the Legacy Only and the node hangs on the boot - just a cursor in
the corner of the screen and nothing coming up. It never seems to time out....
Super frustrating especially since dx360 nodes are booting just fine.

Could you share the IMM and Boot sections from asu show on one of your
