Installing Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
You can install Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform (OCP) on-premises in several
different ways. The following documentation describes one of the more common ways, UPI on VSphere.
The bastion host setup is the same for UPI on VSphere, compared with other hypervisors (for example
Citrix or KVM), or bare metal.
Setting up the bastion host Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform bootstrap node. It hosts the following servers. It is not necessary to run the servers on the bastion host. If these servers exist in the data center where Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is installed, they can be used in place of the ones on the bastion host.Provisioning VMs on VSphere Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) nodes on VSphere VMs. The concepts are the same for bare metal nodes. For example, PXE boot from the bastion host, downloading and installing the RHCOS from the bastion host, and hosting the ignition files from the bastion host.Monitoring the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform installation Verifying the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform installation READY state, the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) cluster initialization is complete.Adding compute nodes to an existing Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform installation Maximo® Application Suite applications are deployed or as the workload increases, it might be necessary to provision more compute nodes.
