Cause

Your entitlement key is missing in order to mirror the images from your public repository.

Solution

Provide your entitlement key to mirror the images from the public repository.

Run the following command:

oc ibm-pak case launch
  --case $HOME/offline/$CASE_ARCHIVE
  --inventory $CASE_INVENTORY_SETUP
  --action configure-creds-airgap
  --args "--registry cp.icr.io --user cp --pass <insert_your_entitlement_key>"

Retry the mirror command.

The mirror command should work and your local registry should be set.
