Reproducible Deployment Scripts and Manifests for deploying Metal3 on a SUSE Edge management cluster.

baremetal's Issues

Enable UEFI boot for IPA image

The current IPA image built by Ironic fails to boot in UEFI mode with grub memory errors. @guangyee found that a slight change in the mkisofs command used to build the image leads to a UEFI bootable image in his test setup. Yhis fix should be integrated and tested.

Add init script to set the env vars

import_cluster_into_rancher.sh does not hand pre-requisites correctly

In my test system, I did not have jq installed. When trying to use import_cluster_into_rancher.sh the following error is shown.

ERROR: ${CLI} not found. Please install it first.

the message should properly show the missing command and not the variable name.

MachineRegistration needs to be updated to new Elemental operator version

The new Elemental operator has moved its CRDs to the elemental.cattle.io namespace. Syntax of the machine registration has changed as well. So the existing machine registration needs updating.

baremetal/deploy/machineregistration/resource/MachineRegistration/default.yaml

Line 2 in b94115c

apiVersion: rancheros.cattle.io/v1

Remove mkisofs wrapper

We introduced a wrapper around mkisofs to reverse engineer the parameters used to build the IPA image. This should be removed or made configurable.

Separate demos from management cluster setup

Currently we're keeping all YAML declarations in one directory tree, regardless if they relate to setting up the management cluster or running demos on how to use it. We should separate that into different directory trees. This will require some changes to scrips/render-templates.sh since it will have to render machine-specific secrets into both trees.

Switch deploy/media to Helm chart

The deployment method for the media server needs to switch from the current Kubernetes based YAML to the new Helm chart. We need to decide if this should still happen via kustomize or if we want to call helm directly from EnsureMediaIsInstalled() in script.sh.

Version pin elemental operator in script.sh

Currently script.sh install the latest version of the elemental operator published in OBS. We should version pin this to the last known stable version. This might require switching to the helm charts release off of github CI.
helm repo add elemental-operator-github https://rancher.github.io/elemental-operator/

Demo script import_cluster_into_rancher.sh does not support namespaces but both clusterctl and kubectl do

If the sample cluster is not installed in the default namespace, the import script will fails as it does not support namespaces. The script should properly handle namespaces

Control Rancher version from script.sh

script.sh has a variable for the Rancher version, but it's not used and the Rancher version is currently hardcoded in deploy/rancher/kustomization.yaml. Either remove the variable from script.sh or from kustomization.yaml.
