Determining which components to install
IBM Cloud Pak® for Data is comprised of numerous components so that you can install the specific services that support your needs. Before you install Cloud Pak for Data, determine which components you need to install.
You can use this information to complete Setting up installation environment variables.
- Installation phase
- Setting up a client workstation
- Who needs to complete this task?
- Everyone involved in installing Cloud Pak for Data should agree on the components that will be installed on the cluster.
- When do you need to complete this task?
- Complete this task before you complete either of the following tasks:
- Mirroring images to a private container registry
- Installing the Cloud Pak for Data software on your cluster
Options for installing components
You have two options for installing the components:
Option | Benefits | Drawbacks |
---|---|---|
Install each component individually | If you feel more comfortable running installs one at a time, this option gives you more
granular control over the install process. Note: All of the services that you install must be
installed at the same release. You cannot install the services at different releases
.
|
You must complete more steps to successfully install the software on your environment. |
Install multiple components at the same time | You can complete the installation in fewer steps. | There are no known drawbacks associated with this option. If you encounter an issue when
installing a specific component, the |
Required components
At a minimum, you must install the following components:
Software | Component ID | Notes |

- Batch installs
- If you plan to install all of the components at the same time, ensure that the components are
specified in the following
order:
--components=cpfs,scheduler,cpd_platform,<component-ID>...
If you don't plan to install the scheduling service, you can remove it from the list of components.
- Individual component installs
- If you plan to install each component individually, ensure that you install the components in
the following order:
cpfs
scheduler
If you don't plan to install the scheduling service, you can skip this step.
cpd_platform
The other components that you install depend on your use case. If you are installing the services required to support a particular solution, see the appropriate section for the solution.
If you are designing your own solution, see All services.
