   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Procedure

1. Create an ignition_config_override JSON object and redirect it to a file:

   $ jq -n \
     --arg IGNITION "$(jq -c . $IGNITION_FILE)" \
     '{ignition_config_override: $IGNITION}' \
     > discovery_ignition.json

2. Refresh the API token:

   $ source refresh-token

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

3. Patch the infrastructure environment:

   $ curl \
     --header "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" \
     --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -XPATCH \
     -d @discovery_ignition.json \
     https://api.openshift.com/api/assisted-install/v2/infra-envs/$INFRA_ENV_ID | jq
