Debugging tip
I had a deployment failure after which all the overcloud nodes were in status BUILD but I couldn't SSH into the compute node.
In order to find out what was wrong I needed to launch the compute node's virtual console in the DELL Remote Access Controller, but I didn't know the root password so I had to re-deploy after setting the root password for the overcloud image.
I followed the instructions that appear in: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_openstack_platform/8/html/partner_integration/overcloud_images#setting_the_root_password 
I don't know where but it would be useful to mention this in the guide

Do we have a debug section where this might fit?

Comment 7 Dan Macpherson 2021-03-03 13:59:33 UTC

It might be worth still putting some content about this in the 16.1+ docs:
