Noor Muhammad Malik 58c8284f74 Add RAID to example hardwareprofile
This adds supported RAID levels and their associated parameters
in the example hardwareprofile. This is an extension to the
hardwareprofile that was created by a previous patch.
https://review.opendev.org/#/c/740132/

Since there is no default RAID profile, the template does
not have a RAID field in it, only the VariableCatalogue is
updated.

Function: hardwareprofile-example

This function defines a hardware profile that can be consumed by the hostgenerator-m3 function. It serves as an example for how other hardware profile functions can be created and consumed.

The example profile currently has fields for RAID and firmware configurations. This is to provide as a reference for utilizing all the supported RAID levels as well as all the supported firmware configurations.

For firmware configurations, the values from example profile are carried over to the default profile of hostgenerator-m3. That is because same defaults are exercised in metal3 baremetal-operator as well. See bios-config spec However, for RAID configurations, since there is no default profile, the template does not have any RAID fields. Nevertheless, all the supported RAID configurations have been listed in the hardwareprofile.yaml for your reference.

The /replacements kustomization contains a substitution rule that injects the profile into the hostgenerator BMH template. Please see the manifests/type/gating type and manifests/site/test-site site kustomization.yamls to see how a hardwareprofile function can be wired in.
