@jomeier Can you share the oc4 installation process ？

from okd.

@klzsysy
First you need a VM which serves the bootstrap.ign file. I use a CentOS VM with the package httpd as web server. Put the bootstrap.ign file in the /var/www/html directory.

Reference the the Webserver and the bootstrap.ign file in the append-bootstrap.ign file (e.g. source: „http://ignitionserver.com/bootstrap.ign“

Change the Version of the append-bootstrap.ign file from „2.1.0“ to „3.0.0“. Change the ignition.config.append to ignition.config.merge. This two changes are the Most important ones for OKD4.

You must add the Hostnames and your Proxy credentials in the master.ign and worker.ign files of you are behind a Corporate Proxy and your hostnames arent served by your DHCP Server.

Dont forget the loadbalancer for ports 22623, 6443, 443 and 80. I use HAPROXY for that.

That were the most Important pieces.

Let me know of I can help you.

@jomeier

• bootstrap.ign web server , use nodejs http-server ,like the httpd effect
• append-bootstrap.ign version 2.1.0 -> 3.0.0 ,ignition.config.append to ignition.config.merge
• loadbalancer ready, use haproxy ,22623, 6443, 443 and 80

{
  "ignition": {
    "config": {
      "merge": [
        {
          "source": "http://172.30.10.14:8080/bootstrap.ign",
          "verification": {}
        }
      ]
    },
    "timeouts": {},
    "version": "3.0.0"
  },
  "networkd": {},
  "passwd": {},
  "storage": {},
  "systemd": {}
}

there is no effect, Same as before, May be other problems

but still thanks for your reply!

@klzsysy:
Does bootstrapping work if you create your ignition files with

platform:
  none: {}

?

How much resources have you spent for your VMs?

from okd.

vSphere UPI support landed in 4.4 releases at https://origin-release.svc.ci.openshift.org. Lets file bugs for each particular case.

Note that until terraform-provider-ignition with Ignition spec3 support lands upstream you might have to use a fork:

curl -L -O https://github.com/LorbusChris/terraform-provider-ignition/raw/v2-bin-1/terraform-provider-ignition && \
    chmod +x terraform-provider-ignition && \
    mv terraform-provider-ignition /bin/terraform-provider-ignition_v2.0.0
