Virtualized configuration

In a virtualized configuration, the OpenShift master nodes and worker nodes are deployed as VMware vSphere® virtual machines running on three (3) or more HPE ProLiant DL380 or HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Servers. All virtual machines run RHCOS version 4.6. The OpenShift install tool is used to generate ignition files that contain information about the compute that will be provisioned. The CoreOS operating system for the worker nodes is then PXE booted and the ignition files are passed with the OS image during installation.
