Issue

  • Does coreos-installer support https or nfs endpoints for ignition_url and image_url during installation of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.x?
  • The ignition file and the image file is hosted on https endpoints. Hence, the commandline for installation is as follows.
coreos.inst=yes coreos.inst.install_dev=sda coreos.inst.image_url=https://192.168.122.180/OCP45/rhcos.raw.gz coreos.inst.ignition_url=https://192.168.122.180/OCP45/bootstrap.ign
  • The installation fails with the error below.
[  127.985326] coreos-installer[821]: failed fetching image headers from https://192.168.122.180/OCP45/rhcos.raw.gz: 35
  • For nfs endpoints, the command line is as follows.
coreos.inst=yes coreos.inst.install_dev=sda coreos.inst.image_url=nfs:192.168.122.180:/nfs/share/metal.raw.gz coreos.inst.ignition_url=nfs:192.168.122.180:/nfs/share/bootstrap.ign
  • Whereas the error is same for NFS hosted files.
