Description rlopez 2020-08-26 15:47:19 UTC
Description of problem:

When attempting to use RedFish Virtual Media, the installer attempts to mount the ISO on the 172.22.0.2 address which is the provisioning network. However, the provisioning network is a non-routeable network so the BMC can never access it. 

Customers are likely to have their BMC addressing on an external network or a separate management network. They won't have their BMC addressing based off the provisioning network.




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): OCP 4.6 nightly




Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to install using Dell systems with idrac-redfish://

Comment 3 Tomas Sedovic 2020-09-17 17:08:47 UTC
This is working as currently intended. In order to deploy OpenShift using virtual media, the provisioning network should either be turned off or be accessible from the BMC. We do need to make sure this is documented, however.

I've created https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1880104 to track the documentation change.

Once that is resolved, we can close this as NOTABUG.

The linked bug was closed (the documentation will appear in known issues in the release notes). Closing this as NOTABUG.
