As per the documentation of BYOH, the windows instance config map has to have either hostname or IPv4 IP address for connecting to the windows nodes.

kind: ConfigMap

metadata:
  name: windows-instances
  namespace: openshift-windows-machine-config-operator
data:
  10.1.42.1: |- 
    username=Administrator 
  instance.example.com: |-
