Enabling the IBM Operator Catalog and IBM Cloud Pak foundational services Operator

To install by using the OpenShift CLI, complete the following steps:

1. Enable the IBM Operator Catalog in the OpenShift cluster:
   1. From your local computer, create a YAML file called catalog_source.yaml with the following content:

      apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
      kind: CatalogSource
      metadata:
        name: ibm-operator-catalog
        namespace: openshift-marketplace
      spec:
        displayName: "IBM Operator Catalog" 
        publisher: IBM
        sourceType: grpc
        image: icr.io/cpopen/ibm-operator-catalog
        updateStrategy:
          registryPoll:
            interval: 45m

   2. From the command line, log in to your OpenShift cluster by using the oc login command.
   3. Run the following command:

      oc apply -f catalog_source.yaml -n openshift-marketplace

   4. Verify the installation by running this command:

      oc get CatalogSources ibm-operator-catalog -n openshift-marketplace

      • If the installation was successful, you should see output that is similar to this:

        NAME                   DISPLAY                 TYPE   PUBLISHER      AGE
        ibm-operator-catalog   IBM Operator Catalog    grpc   IBM            50s

      • If the installation failed, the following message is displayed:

        Error from server (NotFound): catalogsources.operators.coreos.com "ibm-operator-catalog" not found

        To help resolve this error, run the following command to check the pods and CatalogSource resources in the openshift-marketplace namespace:

        oc get catalogsource,pods -n openshift-marketplace

        The output should provide information about your CatalogSource resources and status of the pods; for example:

        NAME                           DISPLAY        TYPE  PUBLISHER  AGE
        catalogsource.operators.coreos.com/certified-operators  Certified Operators  grpc  Red Hat   20d
        catalogsource.operators.coreos.com/community-operators  Community Operators  grpc  Red Hat   20d
        catalogsource.operators.coreos.com/ibm-operator-catalog  IBM Operator Catalog  grpc  IBM     48s
        catalogsource.operators.coreos.com/opencloud-operators  IBMCS Operators    grpc  IBM     48s
        catalogsource.operators.coreos.com/redhat-marketplace   Red Hat Marketplace  grpc  Red Hat   20d
        catalogsource.operators.coreos.com/redhat-operators    Red Hat Operators   grpc  Red Hat   20d
        NAME                    READY  STATUS  RESTARTS  AGE
        pod/certified-operators-575f586fd8-m2ldh  1/1   Running  0     41m
        pod/community-operators-57fd7676ff-sqzgs  1/1   Running  0     15h
        pod/ibm-operator-catalog-85b2w       1/1   Running  0     48s
        pod/marketplace-operator-5fcf68c65c-l8tcg  1/1   Running  0     5d8h

        pod/redhat-operators-8678ddbc5-6szpp    1/1   Running  0     4d1h

2. Add the IBM Cloud Pak foundational services Operator to the list of installable Operators in the OperatorHub:
   1. From your local computer, create a YAML file called catalog-source-cs.yaml with the following content:

      apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
      kind: CatalogSource
      metadata:
        name: opencloud-operators
        namespace: openshift-marketplace
      spec:
        displayName: IBMCS Operators
        publisher: IBM
        sourceType: grpc
        image: quay.io/opencloudio/ibm-common-service-catalog:3.19
        updateStrategy:
          registryPoll:
            interval: 45m

   2. From the command line, run the following command:

      oc apply -f catalog-source-cs.yaml -n openshift-marketplace

   3. Verify that the source container is running:

      oc -n openshift-marketplace get pod | grep opencloud-operators

To install by using the OpenShift web console, complete the following steps:

3. Log in to the OpenShift web console.
4. To enable the IBM Operator Catalog in the OpenShift cluster, click the plus icon , and then copy and paste the resource definition from step 1.a into the Import YAML editor. Then click Create.
   
5. To add the IBM Cloud Pak foundational services Operator to the list of installable Operators, click the plus icon , and then copy and paste the resource definition from step 2.a into the Import YAML editor. Then click Create.
