Creating a Db2 Data Management Console instance

You can create a Db2® Data Management Console service instance by creating a custom resource. This task is an alternative for provisioning the Db2 Data Management Console service.

Before you begin

You can create only one instance of Db2 Data Management Console service for IBM Cloud Pak for Data. Therefore, before you create a service instance, check if any instance of Db2 Data Management Console service exists in the cluster.

About this task

You can create a Db2 Data Management Console instance in UI by provisioning the service. Alternatively, you can create a Db2 Data Management Console service instance by creating a custom resource using the command line.

Procedure

Log in to Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform as a user with sufficient permissions to complete the task:
```
oc login OpenShift_URL:port
```

Get the status of Db2 Data Management Console (dmc-addon):

oc get $(oc get Dmcaddon -o name -n ${PROJECT_CPD_INSTANCE}) -o jsonpath='{.status.dmcAddonStatus} {"\n"}'  -n project-name

Db2 Data Management Console is ready when the command returns Completed

Create a Dmc custom resource. Follow the appropriate guidance for your environment.

Using the recommended storage class names

Create a custom resource with the following format.

cat <<EOF |oc apply -f -
apiVersion: dmc.databases.ibm.com/v1
kind: Dmc
metadata:
  name: data-management-console     
   annotations:
    ansible.operator-sdk/reconcile-period: "30s"
    ansible.sdk.operatorframework.io/verbosity: "4"   
spec:
  version: 4.6.4
  description: "Data Management Console"         
  scaleConfig: small|medium|large         # Specify the scale. Medium scale is recommended.
  storageVendor: nfs | ocs | portworx     # Specify the type of storage to use, such as ocs
  storageSize: storage-size     # Specify the storage size. For example, 10Gi 
  license:
    accept: true
    license: Enterprise | Standard     # Specify the license you purchased

EOF

Using the custom storage class names

Create a custom resource with the following format.

cat <<EOF |oc apply -f -
apiVersion: dmc.databases.ibm.com/v1
kind: Dmc
metadata:
  name: data-management-console     
   annotations:
    ansible.operator-sdk/reconcile-period: "30s"
    ansible.sdk.operatorframework.io/verbosity: "4"   
spec:
  version: 4.6.4
  description: "Data Management Console"         
  scaleConfig: small|medium|large         # Specify the scale. Medium scale is recommended.
  storageClass: storage-class-name     # Specify the storage class name. 
  storageSize: storage-size     # Specify the storage size. For example, 10Gi 
  license:
    accept: true
    license: Enterprise | Standard     # Specify the license you purchased

EOF

Using the block storage class and file storage class names

Create a custom resource with the following format.

cat <<EOF |oc apply -f -
apiVersion: dmc.databases.ibm.com/v1
kind: Dmc
metadata:
  name: data-management-console     
   annotations:
    ansible.operator-sdk/reconcile-period: "30s"
    ansible.sdk.operatorframework.io/verbosity: "4"   
spec:
  version: 4.6.4
  description: "Data Management Console"         
  scaleConfig: small|medium|large         # Specify the scale. Medium scale is recommended.
  blockStorageClass: block-storage-class-name     # Specify the block storage class name. 
  fileStorageClass: file-storage-class-name     # Specify the file storage class name. 
  storageSize: storage-size     # Specify the storage size. For example, 10Gi 
  license:
    accept: true
    license: Enterprise | Standard     # Specify the license you purchased

EOF

Note: Db2 Data Management Console uses the following storage classes:

OpenShift Container Storage: ocs-storagecluster-cephfs
NFS: managed-nfs-storage
Portworx: portworx-shared-gp3
