Example

server /bios # set boot-order uefimap,uefios
To manage boot-order:
- Reboot server to have your boot-order settings take place
- Do not disable boot options via BIOS screens
- If a specified device type is not seen by the BIOS, it will be removed
from the boot order configured on the BMC
- Your boot order sequence will be applied subject to the previous rule.
The configured list will be appended by the additional device types
seen by the BIOS
- Legacy Boot Order configuration will disable all the active Boot Devices which will
hide them from BIOS
