We created a bootstrap node as part of the deployment procedure. Now that the OpenShift Container Platform cluster is running, you can remove this node.
Remove the bootstrap node entries along with the names, IP addresses, and MAC addresses. For example, in the following sample entry for bootstrap_node in the inventory file, remove all entries along with the bootstrap_node: line:
bootstrap_node:
- name: bootstrap
ip: 192.168.46.26
mac: B8:59:9F:C0:35:86
[ansible@csah-pri ansible]$ ansible-playbook -i generated_inventory haocp.yaml
[ansible@csah-pri ansible]$ sudo virsh list
