Open Stack

Hello,

I'm using ironic to deploy baremetal node. Now I have two puzzles.

1. The node has been in the "clean wait" stage for more than 3 hours

I saw that node was used "erase_devices_metadata" clean step, and It
is very different from the description in the document[1]
" it has the advantage of a reasonably quick runtime (seconds to minutes)"
Attachment “ramdisk_ironic-python-agent.log” is the log of
ironic-python-agent in ramdisk. Does anyone know why this is?

```shell
# openstack baremetal node show $NODE_UUID -f value -c driver_internal_info

'create_configuration', 'priority': 0, 'interface': 'raid',
'reboot_requested': False, 'abortable': True}]}, 'clean_step_index':
1}
```

2. Could I can directly use `openstack server create --user-data
./my-user-date.txt` for baremetal node?
or baremetal node requires configdrive?

Is there any special configuration required in the user image? such as
““datasource_list of cloud-init”

Any kind of pointers are greatly appreciated, sincere thanks
