@sdasu is this a dup of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1873234? Can you please make the comment above public? >As a pre-requisite for the cluster-baremetal-operator to take over management of metal3 deployments in a future release (4.7), MAO should posses the capability (in 4.6) to recognize that the CBO is available and will manage the metal3 deployment. Why is this needed at all? if the CBO is running on 4.7, all baremetal related code just need to be removed from MAO in 4.7 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1873234 ***
