security enhanced PXE-less deployment by using iLO virtual media to boot

The driver does not support this functionality when in ``bios`` boot mode. In
case the node is configured with ``ilo-pxe`` boot interface and the boot mode
configured on the bare metal is ``bios``, the iscsi boot from volume is performed
using ``ipxe``. See :doc:`/admin/boot-from-volume` for more details.

To use this feature, configure the boot mode of the bare metal to ``uefi`` and
configure the corresponding ironic node using the steps given in :doc:`/admin/boot-from-volume`.
