Description

Motivation

When we offer a PXE server in PRG2 with #155524 we should also consider another instance of baremetal-support which is needed for openQA bare-metal tests or moving the existing one https://racktables.nue.suse.com/index.php?page=object&tab=default&object_id=28331 from NUE2 to PRG2. Another reason why we should consider this is the upcoming CC-related network changes until 2024-W46, see #165282

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: The team has a general understanding of what "baremetal-support" is doing
  • AC2: bare-metal openQA tests in PRG2 can run without relying on baremetal-support.qe.nue2.suse.org

Currently waiting for https://gitlab.suse.de/OPS-Service/salt/-/merge_requests/5803

Reverse engineered the existing ipxe boot script from http://netboot.qe.prg2.suse.org/kernelqa/ipxe.efi by booting it in qemu

qemu-system-x86_64 -bios /usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x86_64.bin -kernel ipxe.efi

dumping the VM memory and using strings to extract the script.

It took infra only 14 days to merge my MR.
Of course that time didn't prevent them to merge other things so I had to rebase 4 times.

Now we have DNS.
