badfish not working reliably with default

[misacek007]

I'm probably only missing something because it worked once and then it never did.

It's fresh clone of badfish with default config trying to configure boot_order on dell 630 which should be perfectly possible. Maybe there is need to retry something several times before it succeeds? (blind idea)

Can confirm the issue. For some reason the request made by badfish is not being accepted by the redfish API although I am able to do a successful request via curl:

curl -k -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"TargetSettingsURI": "/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Bios/Settings"}' --user quads:password https://mgmt-c10-h33-r630.fqdn/redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/Jobs

This should have been addressed here: b7c74ce0ab3fe912dcf0456f053ccb830e887272

Now performing a racreset which will trigger the job for the boot source settings change to take effect. This process might take a few minutes to commit.

I finally had time to retest with previous comment commit it seems not really fix the issue (or it might be completely different issue).

It seems to reboot drac but boot order is unchanged once it comes back.
