Failed to deploy baremetal cluster as cluster nodes are not introspected
    

4.15.19 and 4.15.20
    

Always - When there is no provisioning network 
    

    1. Deploy baremetal cluster with disabled provisioning network

    

Cluster fails to deploy as ironic.service fails to start on the bootstrap node:

[root@api ~]# systemctl status ironic.service
○ ironic.service - Ironic baremetal deployment service
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/containers/systemd/ironic.container; generated)
     Active: inactive (dead)

May 27 08:01:05 api.kni-qe-4.lab.eng.rdu2.redhat.com systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Ironic baremetal deployment service.
May 27 08:01:05 api.kni-qe-4.lab.eng.rdu2.redhat.com systemd[1]: ironic.service: Job ironic.service/start failed with result 'dependency'.

    

ironic.service is started, nodes are introspected and cluster is deployed
    

 Same issue seen in 4.15.19 and 4.15.20:
