Feature Overview

Currently it's not possible to modify the BMC address of a BareMetalHost after it has been set.

Users need to be able to update the BMC entries in the BareMetalHost objects after they have been created . 

Use Cases

There are at least two scenarios in which this causes problems:

1. When deploying baremetal clusters with the Assisted Installer, Metal3 is deployed and BareMetalHost objects are created but with empty BMC entries. We can modify these BMC entries after the cluster has come up to bring the nodes "under management", but if you make a mistake like I did with the URI then it's not possible to fix that mistake.

2. BMC addresses may change over time - whilst it may appear unlikely, network readdressing, or changes in DNS names may mean that BMC addresses will need to be updated.
