- For first time installation enable KVM console in the trial or lab servers using Raritan console or use Intel web bmc console
- Deprovision state will result ironic agent to sleeping before next heartbeat - It is not a error message. It Baremetal without OS and installed with ramdisk

- Logs of Baremetal operator gives failure related to images or images md5sum errors
- It is not possible to change the state from provision to deprovision or deprovision to provision without completing that state. All the issues are handled in ICN scripts

Frequently Asked Questions
BMC web console url is not working?
It is hard to find issues or reason. Check the ipmitool bmc info to find the issues, if the url is not available
No change in bmh state - provisioning state is for more than 40min?
Generally metal3 provision for bare metal takes 20 - 30 mins. Look at the ironic logs and bare-metal operator to look at the state of nodes. Openstack baremetal node shows all state of the node right from power, storage.
Why provide network is required?
Generally, provider network DHCP servers in lab provide the router and dns server details. In some lab setup DHCP server don't provide this information.
