cp4i:
- project: cp4i
  ...

- project: cp4i-ace
  ...

- project: cp4i-apic
  ...

Operator channels, CASE versions, license IDs🔗

Before you run the Cloud Pak Deployer be sure that the correct operator channels are defined for the selected instance types. Some products require a license ID, please check the documentation of each product for the correct license. If you decide to use CASE files instead of the IBM Operator Catalog (more on that below) make sure that you selected the correct CASE versions - please refer: https://github.com/IBM/cloud-pak/tree/master/repo/case

Main properties🔗

The following properties are defined on the project level:

Property Description Mandatory Allowed values
project The name of the OpenShift project that will be created and used for the installation of the defined instances. Yes
openshift_cluster_name Dynamically defined form the env_id parameter during the execution. Yes, inferred from openshift Existing openshift cluster
openshift_storage_name Reference to the storage definition that exists in the openshift object (please see above). The definition must include the class name of the file storage type and the class name of the block storage type. No, inferred from openshift->openshift_storage
cp4i_version The version of the Cloud Pak for Integration (e.g. 2021.4.1) Yes
use_case_files The property defines if the CASE files are used for installation. If it is True then the operator catalogs are created from the CASE files. If it is False, the IBM Operator Catalog from the entitled registry is used. No True, False (default)
accept_licenses Set to True to accept Cloud Pak licenses. Alternatively the --accept-all-licenses can be used for the cp-deploy.sh command Yes True, False
use_top_level_operator If it is True then the CP4I top-level operator that installs all other operators is used. Otherwise, only the operators for the selected instance types are installed. No True, False (default)
top_level_operator_channel Needed if the use_top_level_operator is True otherwise, it is ignored. Specifies the channel of the top-level operator. No
top_level_operator_case_version Needed if the use_top_level_operator is True otherwise, it is ignored. Specifies the CASE package version of the top-level operator. No
operators_in_all_namespaces It defines whether the operators are visible in all namespaces or just in the specific namespace where they are needed. No True, False (default)
instances List of the instances that are going to be created (please see below). Yes

Warning

Despite the properties use_case_files, use_top_level_operator and operators_in_all_namespaces are defined as optional, they are actually crucial for the way of execution of the installation process. If any of them is omitted, it is assumed that the default False value is used. If none of them exists, it means that all are False. In this case, it means that the IBM Operator Catalog is used and only the needed operators for specified instance types are installed in the specific namespace.

Properties of the individual instances🔗

The instance property contains one or more instances definitions. Each instance must have a unique name. There can be more the one instance of the same type.

Naming convention for instance types🔗

For each instance definition, an instance type must be specified. We selected the type names that are as much as possible similar to the naming convention used in the Platform Navigator use interface. The following table shows all existing types:

Instance type Description/Product name
platform-navigator Platform Navigator
api-management IBM API Connect
automation-assets Automation assets a.k.a Asset repo
enterprise-gateway IBM Data Power
event-endpoint-management Event endpoint manager - managing asynchronous APIs
event-streams IBM Event Streams - Kafka
high-speed-transfer-server Aspera HSTS
integration-dashboard IBM App Connect Integration Dashboard
integration-design IBM App Connect Designer
integration-tracing Operations Dashboard
messaging IBM MQ

Platform navigator🔗

The Platform Navigator is defined as one of the instance types. There is typically only one instance of it. The exception would be an installation in two or more completely separate namespaces (see the CP4I documentation). Special attention is paid to the installation of the Navigator. The Cloud Pak Deployer will install the Navigator instance first, before any other instance, and it will wait until the instance is ready (this could take up to 45 minutes).

When the installation is completed, you will find the admin user password in the status/cloud-paks/cp4i--cp4i-PN-access.txt file. Of course, you can obtain the password also from the platform-auth-idp-credentials secret in ibm-common-services namespace.
