Preparing the Installation

In order to install the CP4AIOPS Operator you first have to create the following resources:

Namespace
OperatorGroup
IBM Pull Secret (Entitlement)

🌏 Documentation for the Task: Online starter installation of CP4AIOPS

🚀 TASK: Create the Namespace

Create a namespace called ibm-aiops.

Create the namespace (project)
1. Create a namespace called ibm-aiops, by running the following command:
```
oc create namespace ibm-aiops
```
This creates the Namespace in which you will install CP4AIOPS

🚀 TASK: Create the Operator Group

Create the Operator Group as described in the Documentation.

💡 Solution?

Create the OperatorGroup

Create the Operator group by running the following command:

cat << EOF | oc apply -f -
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1
kind: OperatorGroup
metadata:
  name: ibm-aiops-operator-group
  namespace: ibm-aiops
spec:
  targetNamespaces:
    - ibm-aiops

This creates the OperatorGroup needed for the Operator to deploy into the ibm-aiops Namespace

🚀 TASK: Create the Pull Secret

Create the Pull Secret as described in the Documentation with your Entitlement Key from the MyIBM Container Software Library.

Important - This step is crucial to the installation

If you don’t create a secret with a valid Image Pull Token, your installation will fail.

💡 Solution?

Create the entitlement key pull secret

Log in to MyIBM Container Software Library with the IBMid.
In the Entitlement keys section, select Copy key to copy your entitlement key to the clipboard.

Run the following command:

oc create secret docker-registry ibm-entitlement-key \
    --docker-username=cp \
    --docker-password="_entitlement_key_from_step_2_" \
    --docker-server=cp.icr.io \
    --namespace=ibm-aiops

Where "_entitlement_key_from_step_2_" is the entitlement key that you copied in the previous step.

This creates the Secret with your IBM Entitlement that will allow the images to be pulled from the IBM Container Registry
