Deploying DataStage on a remote physical location

Deploy a DataStage instance on a remote cluster to run jobs in a physical location of your choice, including in different geographies or cloud providers, without operating a separate IBM Software Hub instance in each location.

About this task

To support deploying DataStage PXRuntime on a remote cluster, you need to deploy the DataStage operator to the management namespace of the physical location associated with the cluster. First, you must create the physical location and associate it with an instance of IBM Software Hub. For more information, see Setting up a remote physical location for IBM Software Hub.

To use a PXRuntime instance on a remote data plane with a project, you must create a runtime environment for that instance, and select it as the project default. All resources required at runtime are created on the PXRuntime instance. As a result, jobs in the project might not run on other PXRuntime instances.

Procedure

  1. To deploy the operator on your physical location, download the deployment script from deployment script and run the following command. 
    ./deploy_operator.sh --namespace $REMOTE_PROJECT_MANAGEMENT
  2. Create a PXRuntime instance on the remote physical location. For more information, see Creating a service instance for DataStage from the web client.
