Setting kernel command line parameters during Day 1 OCP cluster provisioning

hershpa opened this issue · 0 comments

Summary:

The goal of this issue is to explore how to set kernel command line parameters during Day 1 provisioning of OCP cluster.

Kernel command line parameters like intel_iommu are required to enable feature provisioning for QAT, DSA, and IAA. The current approach is to use machine configuration but that approach leads to reboot. It may be possible to set this parameter while the user is provisioning the cluster on Day 1. Pathfinding and exploration needed to determine feasibility.
