To access these container images on RHOCP on IBM Z or IBM® LinuxONE you must complete the following steps:
- Create an account secret so that RHOCP is able to access the Red Hat Container Catalog and download container images as image streams.
- Create a project, assign the account secret to it, import the container image and create an image stream for it.
- Deploy a pod using the image stream that contains the imported container image from the Red Hat Container Catalog.
