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

...

This will deploy a bootstrap VM and begin to bring up your master nodes.  Once the masters have reached the ready state, you can then deploy your workers.It may be possible that, as workers are not present on this point, some operators could fail. You can check API and nodes availability monitor the process of installation with:

$HOME/.kni/$SITE_NAME/requirements/oc get nodesopenshift-install wait-for bootstrap-complete --dir $HOME/.kni/$SITE_NAME/baremetal_automation/ocp/

When all master nodes are shown as ready, you can start deployment of your workers

...

$HOME/.kni/$SITE_NAME/requirements/openshift-install --dir ocp wait-for install-complete --dir $HOME/.kni/$SITE_NAME/baremetal_automation/ocp/

It may happen that the monitor of this process stops at 93%-94%. This is fine, you can just launch again, or simply start using the cluster, as mostly all operators will come online over the time.
