Installing Multicluster Orchestrator operator

Install the Fusion Data Foundation Multicluster Orchestrator operator for orchestrating configuration and peering of the Fusion Data Foundation clusters for the Regional-DR configuration.

Before you begin

Ensure that you created the following CatalogSource manifest on the hub cluster:

apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: CatalogSource
metadata:
  name: isf-data-foundation-catalog
  namespace: openshift-marketplace
spec:
  displayName: Data Foundation Catalog
  grpcPodConfig:
    affinity:
      nodeAffinity:
        preferredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
          - preference:
              matchExpressions:
                - key: gpu.isf.ibm.com
                  operator: DoesNotExist
            weight: 50
    securityContextConfig: restricted
  icon:
    base64data: ""
    mediatype: ""
  image: icr.io/cpopen/isf-data-foundation-catalog:v4.18
  publisher: IBM
  sourceType: grpc
  updateStrategy:
    registryPoll:
      interval: 60m

Note: Ensure that the version number you specify in the image field of the CatalogSource manifest matches the Fusion Data Foundation version installed on the managed cluster.

Procedure

Log in to the OpenShift® Container Platform web console and select the hub cluster.
From the Operators menu, select the OperatorHub tab.
Search for the Multicluster Orchestrator operator in the All Items field and select the IBM-provided Multicluster Orchestrator tile.
On the Fusion Data Foundation Multicluster Orchestrator window, keep all default settings and click Install.
Fusion Data Foundation Multicluster Orchestrator operator is installed.
Note:
The Fusion Data Foundation Multicluster Orchestrator operator also installs the Openshift DR Hub operator on the hub cluster.
Verify that the resources of the Fusion Data Foundation Multicluster Orchestrator operator are installed in the openshift-operators project and available to all namespaces.

Verify that Pods of operators are in the Running status.

Note: Check whether the Openshift DR Hub operator is also in the Running status.

Run the following command:

oc get pods -n openshift-operators
