Necessary logs are missing. At least nailgun-agent and fuel-agent logs are required.

what is dm-0? it's not clear.

[Krzysztof Szukiełojć (kszukielojc)]

Nailgun-agent log is from situation after install. As we don't have now before install.

Add tag blocker-for-qa, as we can't merge our tests for this feature before this issue is fixed

[Krzysztof Szukiełojć (kszukielojc)]

On real hardware this needs to be forced to happen and we added restriction in docs to make user aware of this problem. Plan for 10.0 is to place bootable flag which is user defined and can help in case somebody will encourage this problem.
In case of tests we have found way to have it tested in spite of this disadvantage.

Fix proposed to branch: master

[Sergey Slipushenko (sslypushenko)]

Origin of issue is that fuel-agent usually configures node to boot from the first disk in UI. It might happen that this disk is not configured to be bootable in HBA card BIOS. Due user can not have an access to system BIOS, it is required to provide to user an ability to choose bootable disk in fuel. It should be done in to patches - patch for nailgun to introduce bootable disk selection and patch for fuel-agent to recognize user's selection during provisioning.

    Add bootable disk node flag

    Adding this flag to specified disk allows user to choose bootable disk
    from Fuel UI and CLi.

    This change is very important for deployments with multipath connected
    block devices. Mainly, it is because, order of disks in UI can change
    easly in this case, so we need introduce to user a possibility to
    choose bootable disk explicitly.
