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  Network Architecture section of this release documentation. In addition the networking configuration with example 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. 

...

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.
