Installing DataStage on a remote physical location

If you want to enable users to create DataStage service instances on a remote physical location, you must install the DataStage on the remote physical location.

Before you begin

Best practice: You can run the commands in this task exactly as written if you use set up environment variables for the remote physical location in addition to the installation environment variables script. For instructions, see Setting up environment variables for a remote physical location.
Before you run the commands in this task, ensure that you source the environment variables for:
  • The primary cluster
  • The remote physical location

Procedure

  1. Log the cpd-cli in to the Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform cluster: 
    ${REMOTE_CPDM_OC_LOGIN}
    Remember: REMOTE_CPDM_OC_LOGIN is an alias for the cpd-cli manage login-to-ocp command when you are connecting to a remote cluster.
  2. Install the DataStage operator on the remote physical location:
    1. Download the operator deployment script, deploy_operator.sh, from the RemoteDataPlane folder on IBM/DataStage repository on GitHub.
    2. Change to the directory where you downloaded the script.
    3. Run the following command to deploy the operator: 
      ./deploy_operator.sh --namespace ${REMOTE_PROJECT_MANAGEMENT}
  3. Run the apply-entitlement command on the remote physical location: 
    cpd-cli manage apply-entitlement \
--cpd_instance_ns=${REMOTE_PROJECT_MANAGEMENT} \
--entitlement=datastage

What to do next

Now that you've installed service-specific software on the physical location, you're ready to complete Registering a remote physical location with an instance of IBM Software Hub.
