Pre-Requisites for Deploying to Bare Metal

The baremetal UPI install can be optionally automated when using knictl (see below).  When attempting a manual baremetal UPI install, however, please be sure to read: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.1/installing/installing_bare_metal/installing-bare-metal.html

...

Then cluster can be managed with the kubectl or oc (drop-in replacement with advanced functionality) CLI tools. To get the oc client, visit https://cloud.redhat.com/openshift/install/metal/user-provisioned , and follow the Download Command-Line Tools link, where you need to download the openshift-client archive that matches your operating system.

Destroying the Cluster

Manual

When needed, the site can be destroyed with the openshift-install command, using the following syntax:

$HOME/.kni/$SITE_NAME/requirements/openshift-install destroy cluster --dir $HOME/.kni/$SITE_NAME/final_manifests

Automated (Baremetal UPI only)

A baremetal UPI cluster that was deployed using knictl's automation commands (deploy_masters / deploy_workers) can be destroyed like so:

./knictl destroy_cluster $SITE_NAME
