--host-list not working about badfish

[grafuls]

You are pointing to a file on your localhost which is not mounted inside the container.
You can run podman linking the file to a volume like:
podman run -it --rm -v /home/bengland/openshift/upi/masters.list:/masters.list quads/badfish --host-list /masters.list -u {USER} -p {PASS} -i config/idrac_interfaces.yml --check-boot

Reopening this to display a more appropriate error message on non existing file.

Thanks @grafuls

another option is to just pass a list of hostnames (separated by commas for example) in the CLI using the -H option, then you don't have to worry about whether the file exists or not. I should have thought of the reason for file not found though. Maybe you could document the use of -v option when passing --host-list?

This can be closed, I use --host-list all the time now, I've updated ocp4_upi_baremetal documentation to get rid of unnecessary scripting on top of badfish and just use this feature instead!
