OpenShift Cluster IPI Join Task

This task manages the process of joining nodes together to form an IPI OpenShift cluster. It coordinates the bootstrap process, control plane initialization, and worker node addition while managing DNS records.

Requirements

Infrastructure

• DNS zone management access (DRP zones will be created, but do not have to used if external DNS is preferred)
• Network connectivity between all nodes
• Sufficient resources for control plane

Node Configuration

• Control plane nodes prepared

Usage

Join Process

# Monitor progress
openshift-install --dir=/root/cluster wait-for bootstrap-complete
openshift-install --dir=/root/cluster wait-for install-complete

Task Workflow

1. Creates and updates DNS zone entries
2. Builds agent-based PXE images
3. Unblocks nodes waiting to PXE boot
4. Monitors cluster formation progress

Verification

# Check node status
oc get nodes

# Verify cluster operators
oc get clusteroperators
