<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am trying to deploy OpenStack 10 using OpenStack Platform Director 10.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am using a bare-metal server with RedHat 7.4, on which I have created 3 VMs: 1st VM is the undercloud node, 2nd VM is the overcloud controller node and the 3rd VM is the overcloud compute node.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The bare-metal server I am using is also my KVM hypervisor for the overcloud.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The bare-metal server has 2 interfaces: an external interface used in instackenv.json for registering the overcloud nodes and a provisioning interface which will be used for provisioning the overcloud nodes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My 1st question is: Is it mandatory that the KVM hypervisor for the overcloud VMs and the undercloud are the same machine?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you can see, in my case the undercloud VM and the KVM hypervisor are different machines.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I saw a blog post which used a topology similar to mine: <a href="https://keithtenzer.com/2017/04/20/red-hat-openstack-platform-10-newton-installation-and-configuration-guide/">

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The error I am getting while running:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">openstack baremetal import -- json ~/.instackenv.json<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">is in ironic_conductor.log: Failed to validate power driver interface for node <uuid>. Error: SSH connection cannot be established: Failed to establish SSH connection to host <kvm_hypervisor_external_ip_address ><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have created the instackenv.json file which looks similar to this:<o:p></o:p></p>
