Optional: Preparing to connect Db2 Big SQL to an IBM Storage Scale object store

If you are planning to connect Db2® Big SQL to an IBM® Storage Scale object store, you must update the Db2 Big SQL service custom resource before you provision a Db2 Big SQL instance.

1. Log in to your OpenShift® cluster as a project administrator:

   oc login <OpenShift_URL>:<port>

2. Change to the project where the Cloud Pak for Data control plane is installed:

   oc project ${PROJECT_CPD_INSTANCE}

   Note: This command uses an environment variable so that you can run the command exactly as written. For information about sourcing environment variables, see Setting up installation environment variables.
3. Update the Db2 Big SQL service custom resource to enable the switch to bypass cloud object store validation:

   oc patch bigsqlservice bigsql-service-cr --patch '{"spec":{"service_provider_bypass_cos_validation":true}}' --type merge

4. Wait approximately 5 minutes for the bigsql-service-provider pod to restart.
