I have a couple of scenarios that I’m working on to configure/deploy RDO Manager, and would like to get your input as of what is the preferred way to achieve these issues:

I need a RAID driver to be installed before the OS on certain pieces of hardware. My assumption here is that I need to build the overcloud images as described here: https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack-m/rdo-manager-docs/liberty/basic_deployment/basic_deployment_cli.html#get-images and once the images are created, decompress, include the new driver and compress it again.

I believe the idea was to use http://libguestfs.org to do the file injection into the image.

Is there an easy way to tell the image to install the OS in one partition and to install the ceph nodes into each additional HDD? Im kinda lost here. Any help is welcomed.

The idea is to encrypt all traffic on the endpoints of the nodes. This is a configuration that needs to be performed in all nodes, so I understand that the best way to accomplish this is to follow the documentation here, right?  https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack-m/rdo-manager-docs/liberty/advanced_deployment/extra_config.html#making-configuration-changes
