Validating your deployment

The operator reconciliation loop can take some time. Verify that the operator container is running.

1. Open the operator log to view the progress of the installation.

   # <Must set> Set your project name here 
   export project_name=$your_project_name
   
   # <Must set> Set target operator name here 
   export operator_name=ibm-content-operator
   
   operator_pod_name=$(kubectl get pod|grep $operator_name | awk '{print $1}')
   kubectl exec -i $operator_pod_name -n $project_name -- /bin/bash -c 'cat /tmp/ansible-operator/runner/fncm.ibm.com/v1/*/*/*/artifacts/latest/stdout' > operator-ansible.log 

2. Look for the status field of each component by running an kubectl get command. The status shows the current state of the component during deployment, and shows the conditions or reasons for failure, if any.

   kubectl get FNCMCluster fncmdeploy -o jsonpath='{.status.components}'

   where, <metadata.name> is the component name from:

   status:
     components:
       ban_initialization:
       ban_verification:
       cmis:
       content_initialization:
       content_verification:
       cpe:
       css:
       extshare:
       graphql:
       navigator:
       prereq:
       tm:

   Each component status has four different states:

   • NotInstalled
   • NotReady
   • Ready
   • Failed
3. If you chose to initialize and verify your Content Platform Engine and Content Navigator deployment, through the operator, you can check whether this was completed successfully.
   Note: You can enable initialization and verification through the operator by adding the following to the custom resource.

   shared_configuration:
     sc_content_initialization: true
     sc_content_verification: true 
   
   initialize_configuration:
     ...
   
   verify_configuration:
     ...

   1. Check the fncmdeploy-initialization-config configmap to check that each component is true.

      kubectl get cm fncmdeploy-initialization-config -o jsonpath='{.data}'

      {
      "cpe_initialized":"True",
      "cpe_os_number":"1",
      "css_initialized":"True",
      "nav_initialized":"True"
      }

   2. Check the fncmdeploy-verification-config configmap to check that each component is True.

      kubectl get cm fncmdeploy-verification-config -o jsonpath='{.data}'

      {
      "cmis_verified":"True",
      "cpe_verified":"True",
      "css_verified":"True",
      "nav_verified":"True"
      }
