To whom it may concern A bare metal deployment with Ironic failed. Deploy Command $ openstack server create --flavor "flavor_name" --image "image_name" --nic net-id="net_id" --security-group "group_name" --key-name "key_name" "server_name" This command powers on a bare metal node that was previously in a powered-off state and boots the deployment image. An error occurs during the deployment process on the deployment image and the server status is error. $ openstack server list +--------------------------------------+-----------------+--------+----------+-------------------+---------------------+ | ID | Name | Status | Networks | Image | Flavor | +--------------------------------------+-----------------+--------+----------+-------------------+---------------------+ | "id" | "server_name " | ERROR | | "image_name" | "flavor_name" | +--------------------------------------+-----------------+--------+----------+-------------------+---------------------+ When I checked the journal log, I saw the following errors. Can you tell me how to resolve these errors to ensure a successful deployment? I look forward to your reply. 1.
