Bare metal IPI

[tcmal]

Hi all,

I'm trying to deploy an OKD cluster on bare metal but I'm a little unclear if IPI is supported yet? #197 seems like the right issue and is closed, but in practice I'm not able to do it because of the following error:

ERROR                                              
ERROR Error: Failed to query available provider packages 
ERROR                                              
ERROR Could not retrieve the list of available versions for provider 
ERROR openshift/local/libvirt: provider openshift/local/libvirt was not found in any 
ERROR of the search locations

ERROR

Sure enough, the big list of symlinks that gets made right before this doesn't mention ironic. Is this known, and if so is there another tracking issue about it?

libvirt should be present in openshift-baremetal-installer, but beware #1200 (should be fixed in next stable)

Ah, perfect. Thank you!

Out of interest, is there a reason that baremetal installation is a seperate binary?

[vrutkovs]

libvirt requires linking to particular libvirt.so which won't work on Mac / some Linux distros. Previously we had this included in the main binary and a lot of people were unhappy about it
