Preflight requirements
Server iDRAC/iLO provisioning
The RC's iDRAC/iLO IP address and subnet must be manually provisioned into the server before installation begins.
Networking
The Target RC has multiple physical and VLAN interfaces. The Build Server uses different interfaces during the different stages of its creation of a RC on the Target Server. A very detailed description of the entire networking setup can be found in the the Network Architecture section section of this release documentation <INSERT LINK>. In In addition the networking configuration with example vlaues as used in the validation labs values similar to that used during validation testing is contained in the Validation Labs section of this release documentation Ericsson Unicycle OVS-DPDK Validation HW, Networking and IP plan.
The Build Server must have IP connectivity to the Target Server's dedicated BMC port using ports 80 (http) <is 80 actually used?> and and 443 (https) in order to issue Redfish commands to configure the Target Server's BIOS settings. The Target Server's BMC IP address is denoted as <SRV_OOB_IP> in this guide. The Target Server's BMC must be manually preconfigured with the <SRV_OOB_IP> address.
...
During the layer stages of the installation the Target Server's 'host' interface must have connectivity to the internet to be able to download the necessary repos and packages.
The RC's iDRAC/iLO IP address and subnet must be manually provisioned into the server before installation begins.
Software
When the RC is installed on a new bare metal server no software is required on the Target Server. All software will be installed from the Build Server and/or external repos via the internet.
