@codyhoag to peer review this.

codyhoag · 2020-09-23T18:39:10Z

@chrisnegus a couple high level comments before diving in:

Is this information intended to cover the IPI steps for bare metal? All other installer sections have IPI/UPI docs in separate assemblies, whereas this PR combines them together. Since bare metal is a different beast, wasn't sure if they were combined for a reason? According to Installer team release information, bare metal UPI and IPI (new) are supported for OCP 4.6.
There are several procedures outlined in the new installation-user-infra-machines-advanced.adoc module. Those procedures need to be broken out into separate modules (one procedure per module).

As discussed, I'll dive in deeper after QE/SME reviews. Thanks!

chrisnegus · 2020-09-23T18:48:25Z

@codyhoag I can separate the procedures into different modules. Can you point me to the installer team release information about bare metal UPI and IPI?

codyhoag · 2020-09-23T19:10:27Z

@miabbott @jlebon @bgilbert can you review? Thanks!

bobfuru

Nicely done! 😎 I agree with @codyhoag that the procedures should be broken into separate modules, so let me know if that's something I can help you with. Most of my comments are either suggested rewording for readability and/or ISG matching, so you can take or leave a lot of it. 👍

This whole sentence seems misleading to me. I'm not sure what "identify artifacts to include" means, and the last two items imply a degree of support for partitioning and network setup that might be expected in traditional OS installers, when in fact our support is very limited. Rather than trying to list coreos-installer features here, I'd recast this to just say that you can manually run the installer from a shell prompt, passing it options to configure some details of the installed system.

We will probably not have a container for 4.6, but an RPM or coreos-installer binary that can be fetched from somewhere. Details are still being worked out.

It looks as though most of the comments on installation-user-infra-machines-advanced.adoc have not been addressed?
