Installing Cloud Pak for Data tenants

Cloud Pak for Data System version 2.0 supports installing multiple tenants of Cloud Pak for Data.

Procedure

  1. Follow Installing Cloud Pak for Data in the Cloud Pak for Data documentation. In the task:
    1. Select Express installations and follow the instructions.
    2. Select The cluster uses the recommended storage class names on Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage and follow the instructions.
  2. Due to a known issue in version 2.0.1, additional steps are required to make the system console correctly get the route of each Cloud Pak for Data instance:

    You must use external-cpd-route name when creating the route in each Cloud Pak for Data namespace. Otherwise, system console is not able to detect the right route and will fail to navigate to the corresponding Cloud Pak for Data console.

    Then, you need to manually run the following commands to make sure the Software resource usage page works properly in the system console:
    1. Switch to system console namespace:
      oc project ap-console
    2. Copy the jwt-global folder from nginx pod in system console namespace to local folder:
      oc cp ap-console/<one of nginx-pods name>:user-home/_global_/config/jwt-global
                /<local_directory_name>/jwt-global
    3. Switch to that Cloud Pak for Data namespace:
      oc project <CPD_namespace> 
    4. Copy the jwt-global folder from local folder to the nginx pod:
      oc cp /<local_directory_name>/jwt-global/ <CPD_namespace>/<one of nginx-pods
                name>:user-home/_global_/config/
