Total newbie here. Been installing 1.1.0 cluster for a couple of day now...(just familiarizing myself)....got a couple of VMs going, etc. However, realized that secure boot and TPM not enabled on my supermicro servers (sys-e300-9d)....when I enabled secure boot, I got an error (expected). However, when I added the bootx64.efi file to the DB, the nodes just boot to grub. I can't seem to get any of the nodes to boot after that. Anyone, encounter this issue. I thought it might be a openSuse microOS issue, so I blew away one of the nodes to test...I only get this grub issue with harvester...not with fedora, opensuse, ESXI v8, etc. Any guidance much appreciated.

I am able to install harvester (create the cluster). Is just that with secure boot enabled on the server, I am not able to boot the node. The node only boots into harvester with secure boot disabled. Seems like with secure boot enabled, grub is confused...not able to locate the boot64.efi file...or something like that... This is a bare metal install on SYS-E300-9D Supermicro server (home lab).
I will try and perform another install specifically choosing the UEFI partition on the USB stick to see if I encounter issues...I think it will take me to grub...hmmm....I will give it a shot.
These supermicros SYS-E3009Ds just do not like harvester boot with secure boot...disabled works fine....tried suggestions above without any success.
Lastest bios, bmc firmware....on the SuperMicro nodes.
