Bug Description

When using TripleO quickstart for baremetal, with a virtualized undercloud, the external network configuration is not working properly. It needs to be properly documented and automated inside OOOQ.

In order for the virtualized undercloud to deploy to baremetal, there will need to be a physical NIC on the virt-host that is attached to the same physical network and VLANs as the baremetal overcloud hosts. This interface can then be added to the libvirt bridge where the undercloud VM has a NIC attached to br-ctlplane.

The first part (switch configuration) needs to be documented, the second part can be documented at first, and then automated.

We have the following in the tripleo-quickstart-extras repo for a virtual undercloud and baremetal overcloud:

https://github.com/openstack/tripleo-quickstart-extras/blob/master/roles/baremetal-prep-virthost/templates/add-provisioning-interface.sh.j2.

It can be extended.

There is automatic doc generation for the baremetal CI jobs - which has been incomplete of late. https://bugs.launchpad.net/tripleo-quickstart/+bug/1661657 is to address that doc generation.
