Description

Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1398317

Description of problem:
When we deploy a new vm on VMWare from Satellite v 6 with Network Based installation mode, then the vm always boot from the network. As the boot sequence set is network, disk.

The customer do not have DHCP/PXE in the network so they are using host based iso to install a vm. Once the installation is completed after reboot every time the vm search for DHCP and it fails. This is causing delay in booting vm.

This issue is not seen if we build a vm with "Image Based" provisioning option from satellite v 6.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite v 6.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build a system from satellite v 6 with Network Based installation mode.
2. Go to BIOS for the vm and try to change the boot sequence.
3.

Actual results:
It is not allowed to change the boot sequence.

Expected results:
As the customer is installing ISO to complete the installation there should be an option to change the boot order for the vms.
