VMware¶
Warning
Since OpenShift 4.3 it is not supported anymore to setup static IP address via Ignition configuration. You have to use the kernel boot args: Creating Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines
OVA do not support static ip's yet! - target 4.6 - BZ 1785122
Guestinfo property: guestinfo.afterburn.initrd.network-kargs
