Description of problem:
See linked OCPBUGS-55434 for prior work on a closely related issue. The inspection step of the baremetalhost repeatedly fails with the SuperMicro ARS-111GL-NHR server due to it booting into the existing hard drive rather than the virtual media. The past issue identified the fix as switching the BootSourceOverrideTarget to be Cd rather than UsbCd. This is in line with the SuperMicro Redfish User Guide (page 38) [0] for UEFI mode. Unfortunately, after a BIOS and BMC firmware update, we now face the opposite issue where Cd does not work but UsbCd now does. Previously working versions: BIOS: BIOS Date: 01/22/2025 Ver 2.0c BMC: 01.03.48 Redfish: 1.21.0 Currently broken versions: BIOS: BIOS Date: 05/27/2025 Ver 2.1a BMC: 01.04.12 Redfish: 1.21.0 (yes the Redfish versions are identical despite the different behavior)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
see firmware versions above tested with OCP 4.20.0-rc.0
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Apply BareMetalHost for SMC ARM with specified firmware 2. Wait for it to begin inspection and reboot the node 3. Observe node booted into previous OS from hard drive 4. Apply patch for UsbCd BootSourceOverrideTarget and reboot 5. Observe inspection continue successfully
Actual results:
node boots into previous install on hard drive
Expected results:
node boots into inspection ISO
Additional info:
Currently just put the metal3-ironic logs from one install attempt, begins around 2025-09-16 11:33, node is helix97
