Description
OCP: 4.15.0-rc.7
multicluster-engine.v2.5.0-89
Machine: Dell PowerEdge R640 with:
BIOS Version 2.20.1
iDRAC Firmware Version 7.00.00.171
Note this issue: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/MGMT-17005
Because of the above issue we attempted instead of created the HFS and then creating the BMH, first to create the BMH and after the HFS gets created, we applied the following changes:
apiVersion: metal3.io/v1alpha1 kind: HostFirmwareSettings metadata: name: r640-u05 namespace: qe2 spec: settings: SecureBoot: Disabled
The BMH creation was attempted using both drivers: redfish-virtualmedia and idrac-virtalmedia.

Results in:

If we look at the console, we see an attempt to run the change in HFS via the lifecycle controller. But it doesn't work.
