Installing QRadar Suite Software by using the Red Hat OpenShift web console
Install IBM Security QRadar® Suite Software in an environment with internet connectivity by using the Red Hat® OpenShift® web console. Before you install, you create a namespace, an entitlement key, and a pull secret.
Before you begin
To complete this task, you must be a Red Hat OpenShift cluster administrator.
Review the Planning for installation section to ensure that you meet the hardware, system, storage, and other requirements.
Before you install QRadar Suite Software, review and take the following prerequisite steps for a successful installation.
Install Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
For the supported Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform versions, see System requirements.
For more information about installing and validating Red Hat OpenShift, see Setting up Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
Install the Red Hat OpenShift Serverless operator
You must have access to a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform account with cluster administrator access.
Procedure
Install Knative Serving on your Red Hat OpenShift console
Knative Serving defines a set of resources that are used to define and control how your serverless workload behaves on the cluster.
Procedure
Gather the information needed to install QRadar Suite Software
Make sure you know the registry key and other information to successfully install QRadar Suite Software.
Information needed | Description |
---|---|
The IBM® Entitled Registry key |
After you purchase a license for QRadar Suite Software, an entitlement for the Cloud Pak software is associated with your MyIBM account ID. You must have an entitlement key for the IBM Entitled Registry to install QRadar Suite Software by the online or air-gapped method that uses the IBM Entitled Registry. The value of the key is set in a parameter that is used during installation.
You need the IBM Entitled Registry key during the installation process and it must continue to be valid through the entire lifecycle of the platform. Important: If the IBM Entitled Registry key
becomes invalid, you must create a new key in Passport Advantage® from a valid account and replace the key on QRadar Suite Software. If you do not replace the key on QRadar Suite Software, services fail.

The Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) chosen for the QRadar Suite Software application | You must create a unique FQDN for the QRadar Suite Software platform. The FQDN must not be the same as
the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster FQDN, the IBM Cloud Pak® foundational services FQDN, or any other
FQDN associated with the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
cluster.
For more information
about the FQDN requirements, see Domain name and TLS certificates.Tip: If your QRadar Suite Software
platform is installed in one of the following environments, the FQDN of the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster is used with the TLS certificate
for the platform FQDN.
|
Certificate of Authority (CA), if required for the QRadar Suite Software application domain. | For more information about certificates, see Domain name and TLS certificates. |
The persistent storage and storage class to be used. | For more information about the persistent storage required for QRadar Suite Software, see Storage requirements. |
The user that you provide in the installation for the adminUser parameter to set the initial user in QRadar Suite Software. | The adminUser must exist in your identity provider. If you are using
LDAP for your identity provider, the adminUser must have the mail attribute in
LDAP. If you are using IBM Security Verify for your
identity provider, be aware that email addresses are case-sensitive. Warning: Do not add a user with the username
admin to your identity provider, as that might cause issues with other
services on your cluster.
For more information about the adminUser, see Logging in to QRadar Suite Software as initial user. |
