Provisioning [metal3.io/v1alpha1] - Provisioning APIs | API reference | OpenShift Container Platform 4.16

Specification
API endpoints

Description: Provisioning contains configuration used by the Provisioning service (Ironic) to provision baremetal hosts. Provisioning is created by the OpenShift installer using admin or user provided information about the provisioning network and the NIC on the server that can be used to PXe boot it. This CR is a singleton, created by the installer and currently only consumed by the cluster-baremetal-operator to bring up and update containers in a metal3 cluster.
Type: object

Property Type Description

Property	Type	Description
`bootIsoSource`	`string`	BootIsoSource provides a way to set the location where the iso image to boot the nodes will be served from. By default the boot iso image is cached locally and served from the Provisioning service (Ironic) nodes using an auxiliary httpd server. If the boot iso image is already served by an httpd server, setting this option to http allows to directly provide the image from there; in this case, the network (either internal or external) where the httpd server that hosts the boot iso is needs to be accessible by the metal3 pod.
`disableVirtualMediaTLS`	`boolean`	DisableVirtualMediaTLS turns off TLS on the virtual media server, which may be required for hardware that cannot accept HTTPS links.
`preProvisioningOSDownloadURLs`	`object`	PreprovisioningOSDownloadURLs is set of CoreOS Live URLs that would be necessary to provision a worker either using virtual media or PXe.
`provisioningDHCPexternal`	`boolean`	ProvisioningDHCPexternal indicates whether the DHCP server for IP addresses in the provisioning DHCP range is present within the metal3 cluster or external to it. This field is being deprecated in favor of provisioningNetwork.
`provisioningDHCPRange`	`string`	ProvisioningDHCPRange needs to be interpreted along with ProvisioningDHCPexternal. If the value of provisioningDHCPexternal is set to False, then ProvisioningDHCPRange represents the range of IP addresses that the DHCP server running within the metal3 cluster can use while provisioning baremetal servers. If the value of ProvisioningDHCPexternal is set to True, then the value of ProvisioningDHCPRange will be ignored. When the value of ProvisioningDHCPexternal is set to False, indicating an internal DHCP server and the value of ProvisioningDHCPRange is not set, then the DHCP range is taken to be the default range which goes from .10 to .100 of the ProvisioningNetworkCIDR. This is the only value in all of the Provisioning configuration that can be changed after the installer has created the CR. This value needs to be two comma sererated IP addresses within the ProvisioningNetworkCIDR where the 1st address represents the start of the range and the 2nd address represents the last usable address in the range.
`provisioningDNS`	`boolean`	ProvisioningDNS allows sending the DNS information via DHCP on the provisionig network. It is off by default since the Provisioning service itself (Ironic) does not require DNS, but it may be useful for layered products (e.g. ZTP).
`provisioningIP`	`string`	ProvisioningIP is the IP address assigned to the provisioningInterface of the baremetal server. This IP address should be within the provisioning subnet, and outside of the DHCP range.
`provisioningInterface`	`string`	ProvisioningInterface is the name of the network interface on a baremetal server to the provisioning network. It can have values like eth1 or ens3.
`provisioningMacAddresses`	`array (string)`	ProvisioningMacAddresses is a list of mac addresses of network interfaces on a baremetal server to the provisioning network. Use this instead of ProvisioningInterface to allow interfaces of different names. If not provided it will be populated by the BMH.Spec.BootMacAddress of each master.
`provisioningNetwork`	`string`	ProvisioningNetwork provides a way to indicate the state of the underlying network configuration for the provisioning network. This field can have one of the following values - `Managed`- when the provisioning network is completely managed by the Baremetal IPI solution. `Unmanaged`- when the provsioning network is present and used but the user is responsible for managing DHCP. Virtual media provisioning is recommended but PXe is still available if required. `Disabled`- when the provisioning network is fully disabled. User can bring up the baremetal cluster using virtual media or assisted installation. If using metal3 for power management, BMCs must be accessible from the machine networks. User should provide two IPs on the external network that would be used for provisioning services.
`provisioningNetworkCIDR`	`string`	ProvisioningNetworkCIDR is the network on which the baremetal nodes are provisioned. The provisioningIP and the IPs in the dhcpRange all come from within this network. When using IPv6 and in a network managed by the Baremetal IPI solution this cannot be a network larger than a /64.
`provisioningOSDownloadURL`	`string`	ProvisioningOSDownloadURL is the location from which the OS Image used to boot baremetal host machines can be downloaded by the metal3 cluster.
`virtualMediaViaexternalNetwork`	`boolean`	VirtualMediaViaexternalNetwork flag when set to "true" allows for workers to boot via Virtual Media and contact metal3 over the external Network. When the flag is set to "false" (which is the default), virtual media deployments can still happen based on the configuration specified in the ProvisioningNetwork i.e when in Disabled mode, over the external Network and over Provisioning Network when in Managed mode. PXe deployments will always use the Provisioning Network and will not be affected by this flag.
`watchAllNamespaces`	`boolean`	WatchAllNamespaces provides a way to explicitly allow use of this Provisioning configuration across all Namespaces. It is an optional configuration which defaults to false and in that state will be used to provision baremetal hosts in only the openshift-machine-api namespace. When set to true, this provisioning configuration would be used for baremetal hosts across all namespaces.
