Nodes do not come back after reboot #12

Closed cprivitere closed 2 years ago

cprivitere commented 2 years ago

The nodes will not boot back into their OS after a reboot. Investigation ongoing.

Even though the install disk will be wiped during the Tinkerbell workflow execution, the EM devices may need to be provisioned with CPR settings to define the boot partition on "sda" as a hint that "sda" is the desired boot disk.

Looks like we need to stick with nodes that use UEFI to boot. Right now, for on-demand servers, that's m3.small.x86, c3.large.arm64, n3.xlarge.x86, and a3.large.x86.

We've outlined that nodes must be UEFI-supported nodes.
