NOTE: These parameters are used for RHCOS installation.
BIOS settings Value Description
PostDiscoveryMode ForceFullDiscovery

After the creation of a logical drive, the system must perform a full connect (discover), instead of performing selective connect. The logical drive name is not displayed in the Server Boot Order in iLO. Set the UEFI POST Discovery Mode to ForceFullDiscovery in the BIOS configuration to display the logical drive name.

This is applicable to RHCOS bootstrap/master/worker nodes.

PostDiscoveryMode Auto

After setting the Server Boot Order, the UEFI POST Discovery Mode is reset to Auto.
