      Section to update: Bare metal host spec

      Task scope:

      • Fix the note in the table.

      Note:
      OpenShift Container Platform 4.14 supports hardware RAID for BMCs using the iRMC protocol only. OpenShift Container Platform 4.14 does not support software RAID.

      • Check whether note for 4.15 needs to be updated.

      Description of problem:

      Here in the documentation, it is mentioned that
      
      softwareRAIDVolumes: OpenShift Container Platform 4.14 does not support software RAID.
      
      Baremetal Host configuration:
      
      [1] https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.14/post_installation_configuration/bare-metal-configuration.html#the-baremetalhost-spec:~:text=softwareRAIDVolumes%3A-,OpenShift%20Container%20Platform%204.14%20does%20not%20support%20software%20RAID.,-The%20following%20information
      
      However, in customizing nodes documentation for configuring RAID-enabled data volume[2]
      
      configuring RAID-enabled data volume:OpenShift Container Platform supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 4, RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 10 for data protection and fault tolerance.
      
      [2] https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.14/installing/install_config/installing-customizing.html#installation-special-config-raid_installing-customizing:~:text=OpenShift%20Container%20Platform%20supports%20RAID%200%2C%20RAID%201%2C%20RAID%204%2C%20RAID%205%2C%20RAID%206%2C%20and%20RAID%2010%20for%20data%20protection%20and%20fault%20tolerance.
      
      These are two contradictory statements, 
      
      The doc [1] needs an update or clarification in which cases it is not supported to  RAID configuration.
