BYOH new node added via CM on vSphere platform. 
I was thinking that only Azure CCM should be using the /payload/azure-cloud-node-manager.exe

OCP 4.11

"version":"6.0.1-936dbef"
 

Always

1. Instal OCP cluster on vSphere 
2. Bootstrap BYOH node by using terraform (not machineset) gitlab.cee.redhat.com:winc/byoh-auto.git 
3. check logs and CM status

Error appears in WMCO log 

To avoid false positive messages
