I am sorry if my explanation was hard to follow.
In order to enroll my hardware, Openstack requires the Servers IP address,
username and password.
Since I have no OS installed on the hardware(physical server) I have no IP
address and no username/password
On the hardware side only(not openstack) what needs to be done in order for
Openstack to control the hardware?
Thanks

Please refer the hardware enrollment section under
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Baremetal.
1. Ensure your hardware is under same network backbone to communicate
2. Enroll the hardware properly as mentioned in the guide
3. Nova baremetal driver will take care of the communication and you could
see the logs in nova compute upon successful enrollment

I understand your points and that is taken care of, but how exactly is
Openstack going to connect to the hardware if the hardware has no OS and no IP?
How should the hardware be prepared so I can give Openstack the information it
needs to enroll the hardware?
Thanks,
Jake

Hi Jake,
Your physical hardware should be maximum enough to support your OS
configurations and baremetal flavor you have created.
Ex:
1. Your physical hardware should contain minimum configurations to run an
operating system
2. You need to take care of your Baremetal Flavor created WRT to your
available hardware.
Thanks

Subject: [Openstack] Baremetal - Hardware preparation
Hi all,
I have been following this doc
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Baremetal#Image_Requirements
to setup openstack for baremetal provisioning. I have configured oopenstack
properly, created an image,
and now I am ready to enroll my physical hardware. However, there seems to be
no mention of how to
prepare my physical hardware.
Does anyone know what is required and what is the process to prepare my
hardware?
Thank you for your help,
Jake
