Section Number and Name: 

Describe the issue: 

Users attempting to install OpenShift on bare metal nodes with the Redfish Virtual Media feature may encounter a failure where the BMC will try to load the virtual media image from the provisioning network and failing.

This will happen if their BMC is on a network separate from the provisioning network and they have not set up any routing between them.


Suggestions for improvement: 

When using virtual media, the provisioning network should be turned off or the BMCs should be routed to the provisioning network as a prerequisite.

Additional information: 

This Docs request is being created in response to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1872787

The dev team would like to close the bug above as "works as expected", but the expected behaviour needs to documented before we can do that.
