Is it possible to setup openstack on a Baremetal device? If yes than how can it be done ?

All production clouds run on baremetal. It’s done the same way as setting it up on a virtual server. To try it out, you can use the installation guides (two servers needed), or DevStack, or Packstack.

I would use a VM, though. More flexibility.

I use RHOSP to deploy to baremetal. RDO is the equivlent (https://www.rdoproject.org/install/)

I think the question is whether one can run OpenStack without an operating system. Since it is written in Python and builds on many other Python-based pieces of software, the answer is no. You need Linux under it, though I believe there have been experimental ports to BSD and Solaris.

You probably confuse OpenStack with baremetal hypervisors like ESXi or some flavours of Xen. However, OpenStack is not a hypervisor. It manages hypervisors.
