      .Increased EFI partition size
      Before RHOSP 17.1.4, the EFI partition size of an overcloud node was 16MB. With this update, the image used for provisioned EDPM nodes now has an EFI partition size of 200MB to align with RHEL and to accommodate firmware upgrades.

      The latest rhel-9.4-x86_64-kvm.qcow2 has a 200MB /boot/efi partition and a 1GB /boot partition:

       

      $ lsblk --output SIZE,LABEL,PARTTYPENAME /dev/nbd0
 SIZE LABEL PARTTYPENAME
  10G       
   1M       BIOS boot
 200M       EFI System
   1G boot  Linux extended boot
 8.8G root  Linux filesystem
$ lsblk -b --output SIZE,LABEL,PARTTYPENAME /dev/nbd0
       SIZE LABEL PARTTYPENAME
10737418240       
    1048576       BIOS boot
  209715200       EFI System
 1073741824 boot  Linux extended boot
 9451847168 root  Linux filesystem

      Whereas edpm-hardened-uefi.qcow2 has a 16MB /boot/efi and a 500MB /boot partition

      $ lsblk --output SIZE,LABEL,PARTTYPENAME /dev/nbd0
 SIZE LABEL      PARTTYPENAME
   5G            
  16M MKFS_ESP   EFI System
   8M            BIOS boot
 500M mkfs_boot  Linux extended boot
 4.5G            Linux filesystem
...

$ lsblk -b --output SIZE,LABEL,PARTTYPENAME /dev/nbd0
      SIZE LABEL      PARTTYPENAME
5368709120            
  16777216 MKFS_ESP   EFI System
   8388608            BIOS boot
 524288000 mkfs_boot  Linux extended boot
4817158144            Linux filesystem
...

      We need to increase the size of /boot/efi to 200MB to align with RHEL and accommodate firmware files, and also should discuss whether 500MB is still appropriate for /boot
