Hey Thank you so much Julia, So lets eliminate TinyIPA part, its of no use for Baremetal, so lets eliminate.
The other major part its taking time to deploy around 12min.
And as I said here,
* If I use custom IPA images build with [1],
* and corresponding generated images [2],
* I am able to provision the baremetal node.
* Only the case I do see is
A) ipa.initramfs is almost 1G in size.
B) And slowness in deployment, [scans all hardware and then report back, slowing down]
c) DHCP for all networks,
* Here is my <>.json file that I am using for enrolment. [3]
* So my observation is/was during deployment it scans all interfaces and take long to resolve the network connectivity, Even I had modify the image and modify the interfaces file to DHCP on only 1 network, but as initramfs is doing scan before qcow2 directsync it hung up thr for almost 2/3 min.
