Hi, On top of what Julia already said, OpenShift ships with Metal3 so I wonder if you even need OpenStack at all. Bare Metal IPI [1] is literally Metal3 and Ironic under the hood. It has BIOS settings, RAID support (although only via Redfish) and uses coreos-installer for native CoreOS installation.

Hi all,
I have the following use case: I need to install Openshift on 100 HP ProLiant servers, those are HP DL360 Gen10+. They are mounted in the racks, with factory settings. So, BIOS settings are default, as well as RBSU, RAID configs and ILO (ILO5). Is it possible to provision them using Openstack? Set a few parameters into ILO, into RBSU/BIOS, set up RAID controller disks (MegaRAID), and then put some ISO image and boot it? Or, maybe even better: create an Openshift cluster similar to how we do it with cloud providers? I have done this for years manually, via ILO WebUI + HTML5 console, but I'm actually tired of this. Can it be somehow automated? -- Leszek A. Szczepanowski twinsen@mspanc.net <mailto:twinsen@mspanc.net>
