Dear

I an trying to deploy an OpenShift 4.19.19 cluster to a dell computers through agent based deployment to bare metal servers.
I have a problem that my agent-based installation is failing with this configuration in agant-config.yaml for OpenShift 4.19.19

    rootDeviceHints: 
      deviceName: "/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:05:00.0-ata-1"

and this disko on dell servers:

[core@master0 ~]$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-path
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Dec  5 21:49 pci-0000:00:14.0-usb-0:14.4.1:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 -> ../../sr0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Dec  5 21:49 pci-0000:00:14.0-usb-0:14.4.1:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:1 -> ../../sda

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Dec  5 22:09 pci-0000:05:00.0-ata-1.0 -> ../../sdb

with the following error:
