Converting standard mode to dev mode on Kubernetes

You can convert your API Connect installation on Kubernetes from standard mode to dev mode.

About this task

To review the installation modes, see Converting installation mode.

Procedure

Complete the following steps for each subsystem:

  1. Use the following apicup command to convert to Dev mode: 
    # ./apicup subsys set [subsys-name] mode=dev
# ./apicup subsys install [subsys-name]
  2. Select one of the following actions, based on your deployment:
    • If your Kubernetes deployment has two or more nodes, you do not have to remove replicasets. Continue to step 3
    • If your Kubernetes deployment has only one node, you must remove replicasets. Complete the following:
      1. Find the Helm release name and namespace for the subsystem that you are switching to dev mode:
        helm ls

        Sample output:

      2. Use the following command to delete the replicasets for that release in its namespace: 
        kubectl delete rs -n <namespace> -l release=<release_name>

        For example, using the previous sample output:

        kubectl delete rs -n apiconnect -l release=rbcb2382b5e
  3. To review your installation mode, use apicup subsys get <subsystem_name>.

    For example, apicup subsys get mgmt:
