We've seen some instances where the bmc refuses to honor the request to change *or* where it is honored for a single boot operation only. In part some of this may be due to improved support in handling UEFI boot signaling where the wrong thing could occur, at least with IPMI. </div><div><br></div><div>In order to create a fix or workaround, we need the following information:</div><div><br></div><div>Are you using IPMI or Redfish?
