About this task
subsys set
commands. The extra values file is a
.yaml
file used to set additional configuration parameters contained in the Helm
chart, further to those parameters that are set using APICUP. The .yaml
format is
required. One extra values file per subsystem is allowed. The sample file is named, for example,
myExtraValues.yaml
.Syntax:
apicup subsys set <subsystem_name> extra-values-file <name_of_extra_values_file>
The
<name_of_extra_values_file>
parameter can include a directory
path.
Example for
mgmt
subystem:apicup subsys set mgmt extra-values-file myExtraValues.yaml
