Install the resource specification injection (RSI) feature by creating an instance-scoped webhook.

Required role

Instance administrator An instance administrator can run this command.

Extended description

If you want to use the resource specification injection (RSI) feature to customize the specifications of pods, you must install the RSI webhook. The webhook is installed in the project where IBM Cloud Pak for Data control plane is installed.

Important: Install the RSI webhook only if you are an advanced user on Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform. It is your responsibility to ensure that any patches that you apply to not introduce issues to your Cloud Pak for Data installation.

If you have multiple instances of Cloud Pak for Data on the cluster, you must run this command for each instance where you want to use the RSI feature.

Syntax

cpd-cli manage install-rsi \
--cpd_instance_ns=<project-name> \
[--rsi_image=<image-location-and-name>] \
[--preview=true|false] \
