      . The `edpm_bootstrap` Ansible role uses the undefined variable `boot_file_entry_present`

      When a data plane node is rebooted, the `edpm_bootstrap` service might fail with the error `The conditional check 'not boot_file_entry_present' failed.`. This error is seen in the Job log of the associated `edpm_bootstrap` pod triggered by the `OpenStackDataPlaneDeployment` for the `OpenStackDataPlaneNodeSet`.

      *Workaround:* In the `OpenStackDataPlaneNodeSet` custom resource under `nodeTemplate.ansibleVars`, set the `boot_file_entry_present` variable to the following:

      ----
      boot_file_entry_present: true

      We need to check if 

      boot_file_entry_present

      is defined before attempting to use it. The bug can be triggered when reboot_required var is set, which could happen for various reasons as that can be a result of any other service signaling a reboot is required. In the case of the CI jobs, FIPS was enabled during the bootstrap service which set reboot_required to true, triggering this bug.

      The CI job eventually succeeds though since when the ansible Job retries, it doesn't see enabling FIPS as a change the second time through, so it does not set reboot_required=true. However, that would leave FIPS not fully enabled as a reboot hasn't been done.
