Description

This is basically a request to marge/implement #5979.

Version

# openshift-baremetal-install version
openshift-baremetal-install 4.11.0-rc.5
built from commit 37684309bcb598757c99d3ea9fbc0758343d64a5
release image quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release@sha256:5b1a987e21b199321d200ac20ae27390a75c1f44b83805dadfae7e5a967b9e5d
release architecture amd64

Platform:

  • baremetal
  • UPI (semi-manual installation on customized infrastructure)

What happened?

In some clusters that I deploy OCP on, there is a small chance the bootstrap process will take a bit longer than 30 minutes, and my pipelines will fail, but when you check 5-10 minutes later, the cluster actually finished installing sucecsfully.

What do you expect to happen?

I prefer to have the flag to change the timeout to any custom value which meets my needs.
and not relay on try/catch and retries.

Research direction

Start with the openshift-baremetal-install bootstrap timeout handling and review the requested implementation in issue #5979. Add a configurable timeout that accepts custom values, then verify that bootstrap runs longer than 30 minutes without premature pipeline failure.
