This enables a more manual approach
to indicate the deployment server.
This carries the assumption that a
normal OS autonetwork config
will get the node to the right network.
This is one step toward enabling a scenario where the target is remote and the DHCP is not going to relay, but instead the deployment feeds the DHCP a confluent URL entry point to get going.
Using this parameter precludes:
-Enhanced NIC auto selection. If the OS auto-selection fails to
identify the correct interface, the profile will need nic name baked in.
-Auto-select deployment server from several. This will mean that any
HA will require IP takeover be externally handled
This is of course on top of the manual process of
indicating confluent in kernelargs.
Some profiles may have all disk support suppressed through blacklist until %pre comes
along to fix it. This avoids /dev/disk ever existing.
Wait up until 10 seconds before giving up. This gives disk subsystem a fair chance to
speed up and avoid a wait, with a fallback worst case of 10 seconds
