Feature Overview (aka. Goal Summary)  

Intel VROC (Virtual RAID on CPU) is a nontraditional RAID option that can offer some management and potential performance improvements compared to a traditional hardware raid. RAID devices can be set up from firmware or via remote management tools and present as MD devices.

Initial support was delivered in OpenShift 4.16. This feature is to enhance that support by:

• streamlining the process
• plumbing through to the agent installer and baremetal IPI

Out of Scope

Any technologies not already supported by the RHEL kernel.
