Description of problem: A baremetal IPI installation of OpenShift 4.4.5 cannot be completed. openshift-baremetal-install times out after 40 minutes, and no progress appears to have been made. The worker machines do not get powered on via IPMI during these 40 minutes. Notably, we *are* able to manually power-on machines by running `ipmitool` from within the `ironic-conductor` container running on the baremetal bootstrap VM inside the bastion node. The worker machines are HP ProLiant BL460c Gen9, with iLO 4 . Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): OpenShift 4.4.5 How reproducible: Appears every time an openshift-baremetal-install is attempted for this cluster. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run `openshift-baremetal-install create manifests` 2. Run `openshift-baremetal-install create cluster` 3. Wait 40 minutes for the installer to time out Actual results: The cluster is not installed, with the worker nodes never having been powered on via IPMI. Expected results: Worker nodes are powered on; cluster installation commences. Additional info:
A couple questions: Is the ipmitool command from with-in the ironic-conductor container taking a long time to execute when the commands are manually run? The time command may be useful for measuring this. Is there any logging output available from the ironic-conductor container? Without any sort of additional logging detail, it will be difficult to identify a root cause. Your indicating workers and cluster installation. Is this workers and masters or is it just works after the initial masters are deployed? Or do none of the machines power on? What are the firmware versions for the iLO controllers of these machines?
40 minutes is the bootstrap complete timeout - that is long before workers would start coming up. This is the part where the control plane comes up. Not seeing worker nodes powered on would be expected. What were the status of your control plane hosts? Can you supply the output from the installer?
Greetings Joe, That sounds reasonable. I'll go ahead and close this item out. Thanks! -Julia
