Prow Job Analyze Metal Install Failure

Prow Job Analyze Metal Install Failure is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wangke19/gemini-ai-helpers. It costs 70 tokens per session (5,360 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for diagnosing failed OpenShift installations on physical servers or virtual machines in Prow, OpenShift’s continuous-integration system. It examines dev-scripts, Metal3, Ironic, console, and system-report files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Investigating failed Prow jobs involving bare-metal OpenShift installation, Metal3 or Ironic provisioning, and dev-scripts setup.
Why use it?
It narrows bare-metal installation failures to setup, machine provisioning, or OpenShift installation problems instead of requiring manual review of many logs.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Prow Job Analyze Metal Install Failure scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Prow Job Analyze Metal Install Failure

This skill helps debug OpenShift bare metal installation failures in CI jobs by analyzing dev-scripts logs, libvirt console logs, sosreports, and other metal-specific artifacts.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • A bare metal CI job fails with "install should succeed" test failure
  • The job name contains "metal" or "baremetal"
  • You need to debug Metal3/Ironic provisioning issues
  • You need to analyze dev-scripts setup failures

This skill is invoked by the main prow-job-analyze-install-failure skill when it detects a metal job.

Metal Installation Overview

Metal IPI jobs use dev-scripts (https://github.com/openshift-metal3/dev-scripts) with Metal3 and Ironic to install OpenShift:

  • dev-scripts: Framework for setting up and installing OpenShift on bare metal
  • Metal3: Kubernetes-native interface to Ironic
  • Ironic: Bare metal provisioning service

The installation process has multiple layers:

  1. dev-scripts setup: Configures hypervisor, sets up Ironic/Metal3, builds installer
  2. Ironic provisioning: Provisions bare metal nodes (or VMs acting as bare metal)
  3. OpenShift installation: Standard installer runs on provisioned nodes

Failures can occur at any layer, so analysis must check all of them.

Network Architecture (CRITICAL for Understanding IPv6/Disconnected Jobs)

IMPORTANT: The term "disconnected" refers to the cluster nodes, NOT the hypervisor.

Hypervisor (dev-scripts host)

  • HAS full internet access
  • Downloads packages, container images, and dependencies from the public internet
  • Runs dev-scripts Ansible playbooks that download tools (Go, installer, etc.)
  • Hosts a local mirror registry to serve the cluster

Cluster VMs/Nodes

  • Run in a private IPv6-only network (when IP_STACK=v6)
  • NO direct internet access (truly disconnected)
  • Pull container images from the hypervisor's local mirror registry
  • Access to hypervisor services only (registry, DNS, etc.)
