Step 3: Discover and provision the cluster

The discovery_provision.yml playbook achieves the following tasks:

1. Installation and configuration of the provision tool.

2. Discovery of potential cluster nodes.

3. Provisioning the “server install image” of Ubuntu OS on the discovered cluster nodes.

Caution

If you have a proxy server set up for your OIM, you must configure the proxy environment variables on the OIM before running any Omnia playbooks. For more information, click here.
