Planning and prerequisites for your virtualized Hosted Control Plane clusters
The prerequisites before you create OpenShift® Virtualization Hosted Control Plane clusters.
- From the Red Hat® Operator Catalog, deploy Red Hat
OpenShift Virtualization. Use the latest
version available in your Red Hat operator
catalog as the version is driven by underlying the OpenShift Container Platform version. For more information about the
supported versions, see Interoperability matrix.
It is a software component of OpenShift Container Platform to run and manage virtual machine workloads alongside container workloads. For the procedure to install OpenShift Virtualization, see OpenShift virtualization on IBM Fusion HCI. To validate the installation, see Red Hat Documentation.
- Create hyperconverged CR based on the following example:
apiVersion: hco.kubevirt.io/v1beta1 kind: HyperConverged metadata: name: kubevirt-hyperconverged namespace: openshift-cnv spec: {}
- Wait for five to ten minutes for the CR status to be available and the OpenShift Container Platform console to refresh and show up a new Virtualization menu.
