Features of the ``redfish`` hardware type
=========================================
Boot mode support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The ``redfish`` hardware type can read current boot mode from the
bare metal node as well as set it to either Legacy BIOS or UEFI.
.. note::
Boot mode management is the optional part of the Redfish specification.
Not all Redfish-compliant BMCs might implement it. In that case
it remains the responsibility of the operator to configure proper
boot mode to their bare metal nodes.
