The following steps create a worker node by using kickstart files that are generated by using Ansible playbooks. Kickstart files references to the operating system ISO file are in the inventory file. See step 8 on page 20.
Note: Dell CSI drivers for PowerMax or Dell EMC Isilon nodes powered by Dell EMC PowerScale OneFS do not support Red Hat Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) as a worker node.
To install worker nodes:
The system automatically boots into the PXE network and displays the PXE menu, as shown in the following figure:
Figure 7. iDRAC console PXE menu
Figure 8. Worker (worker-0) iDRAC console
Note: The default password used in the kickstart files is password. This default password is also used for user use and user ansible.
[ansible@csah ~]$ ssh-copy-id worker-0.example.lab
Note: Ensure that the hostname for hosts key in the rhel_inv_file file is correct and the FQDN is specified (for example, worker-0.example.lab).
[ansible@csah ansible]$ pwd
/home/ansible/openshift-bare-metal/ansible
[ansible@csah ~]$ ansible-playbook -i rhel_inv_file compute.yaml
[all:vars]
ansible_user=ansible
ansible_become=True
openshift_kubeconfig_path="/home/ansible/kubeconfig"
[new_workers]
worker-0.example.lab
[ansible@csah openshift-ansible]$ pwd
/usr/share/ansible/openshift-ansible
[ansible@csah openshift-ansible]$ ansible-playbook -i <git clone dir>/ansible/rh_rhel_worker playbooks/scaleup.yml
Note: The playbook runs in approximately 10 minutes. During this time, the compute node reboots and joins the existing cluster by auto approving the Certificate Signing Request (csr).
[core@csah ~]$ oc get nodes
