Adding a bare metal host to the cluster using the web console

You can add bare-metal hosts to the cluster by using the web console.

Prerequisites

  • Install an {op-system} cluster on bare metal.

  • Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges.

Procedure

  1. In the web console, navigate to Compute → Bare Metal Hosts.

  2. Select Add Host → New with Dialog.

  3. Specify a unique name for the new bare-metal host.

  4. Set the Boot MAC address.

  5. Set the Baseboard Management Console (BMC) Address.

  6. Enter the user credentials for the baseboard management controller (BMC) of the host.

  7. Select to power on the host after creation, and select Create.

  8. Scale up the number of replicas to match the number of available bare metal hosts. Navigate to Compute → MachineSets, and increase the number of machine replicas in the cluster by selecting Edit Machine count from the Actions drop-down menu.

    Note

    You can also manage the number of bare-metal nodes by using the oc scale command and the appropriate bare-metal compute machine set.
