Description Candace Sheremeta 2019-04-30 16:13:44 UTC 
Document URL: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.1/installing/installing_bare_metal/installing-bare-metal.html#installation-upi-machines-iso-installing-bare-metal

Add the parameters to the kernel command line:

coreos.inst.image_url=https://releases-art-rhcos.svc.ci.openshift.org/art/storage/releases/ootpa/410.8.20190412.1/rhcos-410.8.20190412.1-metal-bios.raw.gz

This URL does not work:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

Putting the URL in the Image URL prompt gives an error


There is a JIRA open regarding where we need to host these images. I will ask @erich to link that.
Comment 1 Kathryn Alexander 2019-04-30 18:30:09 UTC 
I checked with the install team, and Katherine Dube suggested these URLs: https://github.com/openshift/openshift-docs/pull/14634

Eric's requesting that the ART team make the links available through try.openshift.com.

@Vikram, how do you want to get this validated?
Comment 2 Eric Rich 2019-04-30 20:01:03 UTC 
Connected to https://jira.coreos.com/browse/ART-600
Comment 3 Kathryn Alexander 2019-05-01 21:04:11 UTC 
Ben Breard and Clayton approved https://github.com/openshift/openshift-docs/pull/14634 in Slack, so I'm going to merge this now.

@Jianlin, if you see anything amiss, I will update the change.

I'm keeping this bug open so that I can update the links per https://jira.coreos.com/browse/ART-600 when it goes through.
Comment 4 Xabier Guitián 2019-05-01 23:52:29 UTC 
Might this crash when dding the image to the disk? As for the installer expects it to be gzipped:

https://github.com/coreos/coreos-installer/blob/master/coreos-installer#L583-L584

I've just unpacked the iso's initrd and the contents are the same.

If you're providing the images uncompressed, documentation need to indicate to compress before using it.

Thanks,

Xabi

Updating to match the new comments on ART-600 here: https://github.com/openshift/openshift-docs/pull/14650

I merged this one, too, per Eric Rich.
Comment 6 Kathryn Alexander 2019-05-13 19:13:09 UTC 
Update for beta 5: https://github.com/openshift/openshift-docs/pull/14835

I'll take care of the GA updates on https://jira.coreos.com/browse/OSDOCS-399

@Jianlin, will you please confirm?
