[Akshay]

Brief Description
-----------------
I am installing Bare metal AIO StarlingX R2 release. I have chosen:
- First menu: Select ‘Standard Controller Configuration’.
- Second menu: Select ‘Graphical Console’ or ‘Textual Console’ depending on your terminal access to the console port
- Third menu: Select ‘Standard Security Profile’

Just for info : While for Virtual AIO StarlingX R2 , First menu is "Select ‘All-in-one Controller Configuration’".

While adding an OSD on controller-0 for ceph, i am getting this error:
- Please install storage-0 or configure a Ceph monitor on a worker node before adding storage devices.

Severity
--------
Critical: Cannot add OSD for ceph.

2. Choose the following menu:
- First menu: Select ‘Standard Controller Configuration’.

- Third menu: Select ‘Standard Security Profile’

3. eno4 for OAM
   eno1 for mgmt

Hi Team,

I am also facing similar issue in Installing StarlingX on Bare Metal.

Just wanted to confirm that Do we need to use "Standard Controller Configuration" in Baremetal?

As far as I remember, we had used All-in-One configuration in Release 1 Virtual and Bare Metal.
In Release 2 Virtual also, we need to select All In One only.

Does it differ in Release 2 Baremetal? "Standard Controller Configuration" needs to be selected in that?

If you are installing an AIO (All-in-one) system on baremetal or virtual-env, you need to choose the menu option related to the All-in-one Controller configuration:
     Select ‘All-in-one Controller Configuration’

For AIO-simplex (1-node):
https://docs.starlingx.io/deploy_install_guides/current/bare_metal_aio_simplex.html

For AIO-duplex (2-node):
https://docs.starlingx.io/deploy_install_guides/current/bare_metal_aio_duplex.html

The "Standard Controller Configuration" is for multiple nodes (controllers + worker nodes and optionally storage nodes). The error returned indicates that a storage node or a worker node should be configured as well.

Are you saying the ‘All-in-one Controller Configuration’ is not available from the installer menu for your system? If so, what hardware are you using? Are you installing with legacy mode BIOS or UEFI?

Hi,

Please find the attached image of the document stating to choose "standard controller configuration" for first menu.
Thanks for clearing my doubt.

Thank you for clarifying that this is a documentation issue.

There was a recent doc update to the baremetal install guides which addressed this issue (reported in Bug#: 1842993):
https://review.opendev.org/#/c/682967

Now looking at the latest guides for AIO as of 2019-09-26, you can see that the correct option is listed now.

AIO-Simplex:
https://docs.starlingx.io/deploy_install_guides/current/bare_metal/aio_simplex_install_kubernetes.html#install-software-on-controller-0

AIO-Duplex:
https://docs.starlingx.io/deploy_install_guides/current/bare_metal/aio_duplex_install_kubernetes.html#install-software-on-controller-0

4. Make the following menu selections in the installer:

First menu: Select ‘All-in-one Controller Configuration’

Second menu: Select ‘Graphical Console’ or ‘Textual Console’ depending on your terminal access to the console port

Third menu: Select ‘Standard Security Profile’

...Therefore, I am marking this as Fix Released and a duplicate of Bug#: 1842993
