Obtaining IPA logs via the console
==================================
1) By default, in testing mode Bifrost sets the agent journal to be logged
to the console, hover testing mode is geared more towards local Virtual
machine testing. In order to get the IPA agent to at least detail
information to the screen, you will want to set the following setting
in ironic.conf::
1) By default, Bifrost sets the agent journal to be logged to the system
console. Due to the variation in hardware, you may need to tune the
parameters passed to the deployment ramdisk. This can be done, as shown
below in ironic.conf::
agent_pxe_append_params=nofb nomodeset vga=normal console=ttyS0 systemd.journald.forward_to_console=yes
Parameters will vary by your hardware type and configuration, however the
systemd.journald.forward_to_console=yes setting is a default, and will only
work for systemd based IPA images such as the default CoreOS image.
The example above, effectively disables all attempts by the Kernel to set
the video mode, defines the console as ttyS0 or the first serial port, and
instructs systemd to direct logs to the console.
2) Once set, restart the ironic-conductor service, e.g.
`service ironic-conductor restart` and attempt to redeploy the node.
You will want to view the system console occurring. If possible, you
