Verification of iso changes on existing metalk8s deployment

[Abhishek627]

If I want to validate a new iso generated, can I just mount it and redeploy on an existing setup ? If yes, does any existing file/folder needs to be purged before this redeployment for a fair test.

Hello @Abhishek627! Yes, you can replace an existing ISO with a new one on an existing deployment. We have a minimal procedure for doing so in our developer documentation: see it here.
Hope this helps!

Hi ! There is 1 more issue I've seen popping up quite frequently, if you have some pointers for this, this'd be very helpful.

This ip is correct and normal curl doesn't work too.

Likely makes sense to have this as another question/discussion rather than tacking it on the original one ;)

Isn't this caused by some firewall as well?

[Abhishek627]

Sorry just an update. Issue was not with firewall but with salt. Instead of updating minion_id to match hostname, i removed /etc/salt/ folder and that caused issues with salt certs i guess.

[NicolasT]

Seems likely indeed.
