Jump server Software Requirements:

...

The local controller will install all the software in compute servers right from OS, the software required to bring up the Kubernetes cluster <--- SM comment "local controller installs OS on compute servers?" >>>

Execution Requirements (Bare Metal Only)

ICN BP check all the precondition and execution requirements for both Baremetal and VM deployment <--- SM comment "Heading indicates only Baremetal but the text here mentions both types of deployments including VM" >>>requirements for both Baremetal

Preconfiguration for the local controller in Jump Host 

User required to provide the IPMI information of the edge server they required to connect to the local controller by editing node JSON sample file in the directory icn/deploy/metal3/scripts/nodes.json.sample as below. This example shows only for 2 nodes, If you want to increase nodes, just add another array

{
  "nodes": [
    {
      "name": "edge01-node01",
      "ipmi_driver_info": {
        "username": "admin",
        "password": "admin",
        "address": "10.10.10.11"
      },
