@Dzahn next week can you update puppet this is a uefi only server

@Jclark-ctr Ok, but I'm not sure what kind of update it needs. I never had a UEFI-only server I think.

currently preseed.yaml is

'pki*|phab*':
  - partman/standard.cfg
  - partman/raid1-2dev.cfg

for efi would need

- partman/standard-efi.cfg
- partman/raid1-2dev-efi.cfg

if you want to wait till next week that is fine with me thank you for responding.

@Dzahn if you do make any edits please keep in mind of codfw has same server racked needing same update T418899 phab2003

@Jclark-ctr Gotcha! I did make the change. It should be for phab1006, phab2003 and future phab* servers with higher numbers. Done.
