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

Suggestions¶

• Wait for #155524 to sort out where to host the VM then pick the same approach for baremetal-support
• Have an overview about the machine from https://racktables.nue.suse.com/index.php?page=object&tab=default&object_id=28331
• Read as needed https://github.com/frankenmichl/baremetal_support/ or consult with domain expert and creator mmoese
• Setup another instance or migrate and verify with bare-metal tests on OSD
• Present your understandings to the team
