Important: IBM Cloud Pak® for Data Version 4.6 will reach end of support (EOS) on 31 July, 2025. For more information, see the Discontinuance of service announcement for IBM Cloud Pak for Data Version 4.X.

Upgrade to IBM Software Hub Version 5.1 before IBM Cloud Pak for Data Version 4.6 reaches end of support. For more information, see Upgrading IBM Software Hub in the IBM Software Hub Version 5.1 documentation.

When you run the cpd-cli manage commands, you must specify the components that you want to manage.

For example, you need to specify the list of components when you:
  • Run manage apply-olm to specify which catalog sources and operator subscriptions you want to create.
  • Run manage mirror-images to specify which images you want to mirror to your private container registry.

Required components

Software Component ID Notes
IBM Cloud Pak foundational services cpfs Required.

This component is a prerequisite for IBM Cloud Pak for Data.

The component is installed once on the cluster and is shared by any instances of Cloud Pak for Data on the cluster.

If the cpd-cli detects the cpfs component on the cluster, it does not attempt to install it again.
Cloud Pak for Data cpd_platform Required.

This component is a prerequisite for installing any services.

The component ensures that the Cloud Pak for Data control plane is installed and running.

The component is installed once in each project (namespace) where you want to install the platform.

If the cpd-cli detects the cpd_platform in the project, it does not attempt to install it again.
Cloud Pak for Data control plane zen
Important: Do not specify the zen component to install or upgrade the control plane. This component is automatically installed and upgraded by the cpd_platform component.
If you complete the following actions for the cpd_platform component, the zen objects are automatically included:
  • Mirror images
  • Create catalog sources or operator subscriptions
Scheduling service scheduler Required if you plan to:
  • Install Watson Machine Learning Accelerator
  • Use the quota enforcement feature in Cloud Pak for Data

The component is installed once on the cluster and is shared by any instances of Cloud Pak for Data on the cluster.

If the cpd-cli detects the scheduler component on the cluster, it does not attempt to install it again.

Shared components (automatically installed dependencies)

If required, the following components are automatically installed once per project (Kubernetes namespace). The shared components are installed if you install a service that requires them.

For information about which services require each component, see Software requirements or run the list-dependents command.

Software Component ID Notes
Common core services ccs Several services require similar features and interfaces. To streamline the platform, these features are provided by the common core services.
The common core services provide:
  • Data source connections
  • Deployment management
  • Job management
  • Notifications
  • Projects
  • Search
Db2® as a service db2aaservice Several services use Db2 as a service to create an embedded datastore within the service. The datastore is a secured and restricted. Only the service that creates the datastore can access it.
Db2U db2u The Db2U operator is a prerequisite for Db2, Db2 Warehouse, and Db2 as a service.

The operator can watch Db2-based service instances in multiple projects (namespaces).
InfoSphere® Information Server iis

Services
