- Description of the issue (ideally so that others can reproduce it):
I burned the ISO image to dvd, and installed it into an identical bare metal DL380 G10 server. the system was booted but the DVD was not identified as bootable. I believe the UEFI secure boot is blocking the boot somehow.
- Workaround, if any:
This is what is listed in my /boot/efi/EFI/redhat folder:
-rwx------. 1 root root 182 Sep 22 05:46 BOOTX64.CSV
drwx------. 2 root root 4096 Aug 31 05:50 fonts
-rwx------. 1 root root 6666 Feb 10 12:18 grub.cfg
-rwx------. 1 root root 1024 Feb 15 12:41 grubenv
-rwx------. 1 root root 1893320 Aug 31 05:50 grubx64.efi
-rwx------. 1 root root 1170232 Sep 22 05:46 mmx64.efi
-rwx------. 1 root root 1244488 Sep 22 05:46 shimx64.efi
-rwx------. 1 root root 1238544 Sep 22 05:46 shimx64-redhat.efi
I believe the grubx64.efi was selected as the bootloader by rear. I will attempt to specify the shimx64.efi as an alternate and try that while I wait for any replies. I will also try to change to RAWDISK and load that on a USB. However the perfered method of recovery in this case is an ISO burned to a DVD (this is due to the isolated nature of the systems being build and that USB needs preparation which is not easy under the cyber controls in place.

@pcmurphy101 Do you have a RedHat subscription for this system? If yes why not open a case with RH? RH can assist us in this issue.
