Setting up the cluster for DataStage Enterprise Plus

Preparing clusters connected to the internet

From your installation node:

1. Change to the directory where you placed the Cloud Pak for Data command-line interface and the repo.yaml file.
2. Log in to your Red Hat OpenShift cluster as an administrator:

   oc login OpenShift_URL:port

3. Run the following command to see a preview of the list of resources that must be created on the cluster:

   ./cpd-cli adm \
   --repo ./repo.yaml \
   --assembly ds \
   --arch Cluster_architecture \  
   --namespace Project \
   --latest-dependency

   Important: By default, this command gets the latest version of the assembly. If you want to install a specific version of DataStage Enterprise Plus, add the following line to your command after the --assembly flag:

   --version Assembly_version \

   Additionally, you can remove the --latest-dependency flag to get the minimum required version of any software that DataStage Enterprise Plus is dependent on.

   Tell the person who will install DataStage Enterprise Plus whether you used either of these flags. The install command must be run with the same flags.

   Replace the following values:

   Variable	Replace with
   Assembly_version	The version of DataStage Enterprise Plus that you want to install. The assembly versions are listed in System requirements for services.
   Cluster_architecture	Specify the architecture of your cluster hardware: For x86-64 hardware, remove this flag or specify x86_64
   Project	The project where the Cloud Pak for Data control plane is installed.

   The command returns a list of the changes that you must make to your cluster to ensure that DataStage Enterprise Plus can run on your cluster.

4. Make the necessary changes to your cluster. You can choose one of the following methods to make the changes:

   To automatically apply the changes to your cluster:

   Re-run the cpd adm command with the --apply flag:

   ./cpd-cli adm \
   --repo repo.yaml \
   --assembly ds \
   --arch Cluster_architecture \
   --namespace Project \
   --apply

   Replace the variables with the same values that you used the last time you ran the command.

   To manually apply the changes to your cluster:

   Follow the appropriate procedures from the Red Hat OpenShift documentation to complete the required tasks.

Preparing air-gapped clusters

From your installation node:

1. Change to the directory where you placed the Cloud Pak for Data command-line interface.
2. Log in to your Red Hat OpenShift cluster as an administrator:

   oc login OpenShift_URL:port

3. Run the following command to see a preview of the list of resources that must be created on the cluster:

   ./cpd-cli adm \
   --assembly ds \
   --arch Cluster_architecture \
   --namespace Project \
   --load-from Image_directory_location \
   --latest-dependency

   Note: If the assembly was downloaded using the delta-images command, remove the --latest-dependency flag from the command. If you don't remove the --latest-dependency flag you will get an error indicating that the flag cannot be used.

   Tell the person who will install DataStage Enterprise Plus whether you used the --latest-dependency flag. If you run this command with the --latest-dependency flag, the install command must also be run with the flag.

   Replace the following values:

   Variable	Replace with
   Cluster_architecture	Specify the architecture of your cluster hardware: For x86-64 hardware, remove this flag or specify x86_64
   Project	The project where the Cloud Pak for Data control plane is installed.
   Image_directory_location	The location of the cpd-cli-workspace directory.

   The command returns a list of the changes that you must make to your cluster to ensure that DataStage Enterprise Plus can run on your cluster.
