Setting the common services profile

Set the hardware requirements profile based on the workloads in your cluster for IBM Cloud Pak® foundational services. For more information about the profiles, see Hardware requirements and recommendations for common services.

The default profile is medium, and IBM Cloud Pak foundational services will use this profile unless another is specified. You can change the profile to large or small if required. If you install common services using the large or medium profile, you cannot scale down the profile to small after installation. You can switch between large and medium profiles after installation, or scale up a small profile after installation.

To set the profile to small:

1. Install the IBM Cloud Pak for Integration operators. See Installing operators.

   Do not deploy any component products or the Platform Navigator.

2. Open the Red Hat OpenShift web console.

3. From the navigation pane, click Home > Search.

4. From the Project drop-down list, select ibm-common-services.

5. From the Resources drop-down list, select CommonServices.

6. Select the common-service resource.

7. Select the YAML tab.

8. Update the spec.size parameter to small:

   apiVersion: operator.ibm.com/v3
   kind: CommonService
   metadata:
     name: common-service
     namespace: ibm-common-services
   spec:
     size: small

9. Click Save.

You can now proceed with the depoyment of IBM Cloud Pak for Integration components.
