You can deploy the {VirtProductName} Operator by using the {product-title} web console.
|
|
|
|
.Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* Install {product-title} {product-version} on your cluster.
|
|
* Log in to the {product-title} web console as a user with `cluster-admin` permissions.
|
|
// required for ROSA/OSD

.Procedure
|
|
|
|
. From the *Administrator* perspective, click *Ecosystem* -> *Software Catalog*.
|
|
|
|
. In the *Filter by keyword* field, type *Virtualization*.
|
|
|
|
. Select the *{CNVOperatorDisplayName}* tile with the *Red Hat* source label.
|
|
|
|
. Read the information about the Operator and click *Install*.
|
|
|
|
. On the *Install Operator* page:
|
|
|
|
.. Select *stable* from the list of available *Update Channel* options. This ensures that you install the version of {VirtProductName} that is compatible with your {product-title} version.
|
|
|
|
.. For *Installed Namespace*, ensure that the *Operator recommended namespace* option is selected. This installs the Operator in the mandatory `{CNVNamespace}` namespace, which is automatically created if it does not exist.
|
|
+
|
|
[WARNING]
|
|
====
|
|
Attempting to install the {VirtProductName} Operator in a namespace other than `{CNVNamespace}` causes the installation to fail.
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
.. For *Approval Strategy*, it is highly recommended that you select *Automatic*, which is the default value, so that {VirtProductName} automatically updates when a new version is available in the *stable* update channel.
|
|
+
|
|
Selecting the *Manual* approval strategy is not recommended, as it poses a high risk to cluster support and functionality. Only select *Manual* if you fully understand these risks and cannot use *Automatic*.
|
|
+
|
|
[WARNING]
|
|
====
|
|
Because {VirtProductName} is only supported when used with the corresponding {product-title} version, missing {VirtProductName} updates can cause your cluster to become unsupported.
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
. Click *Install* to make the Operator available to the `{CNVNamespace}` namespace.
|
|
|
|
. When the Operator installs successfully, click *Create HyperConverged*.
|
|
|
|
. Optional: Configure *Infra* and *Workloads* node placement options for {VirtProductName} components.
|
|
|
|
. Click *Create* to launch {VirtProductName}.
|
|
|
|
.Verification
|
|
|
|
* Navigate to the *Workloads* -> *Pods* page and monitor the {VirtProductName} pods until they are all *Running*. After all the pods display the *Running* state, you can use {VirtProductName}.
