Verifying the HostFirmware Settings resource is valid

When the user edits the spec.settings section to make a change to the HostFirmwareSetting(HFS) resource, the Bare Metal Operator (BMO) validates the change against the FimwareSchema resource, which is a read-only resource. If the setting is invalid, the BMO will set the Type value of the status.Condition setting to False and also generate an event and store it in the HFS resource. Use the following procedure to verify that the resource is valid.

Procedure

1. Get a list of HostFirmwareSetting resources:

   $ oc get hfs -n openshift-machine-api

2. Verify that the HostFirmwareSettings resource for a particular host is valid:

   $ oc describe hfs <host_name> -n openshift-machine-api

   Where <host_name> is the name of the host.

   Example output

   Events:
     Type    Reason            Age    From                                    Message
     ----    ------            ----   ----                                    -------
     Normal  ValidationFailed  2m49s  metal3-hostfirmwaresettings-controller  Invalid BIOS setting: Setting ProcTurboMode is invalid, unknown enumeration value - Foo

   Important

   If the response returns ValidationFailed, there is an error in the resource configuration and you must update the values to conform to the FirmwareSchema resource.
