Planning and prerequisites for your virtualized clusters

The prerequisites before you create Virtualization clusters.

  • From the Red Hat® Operator Catalog, deploy Red Hat OpenShift® Virtualization 4.16.0 or higher.

    It is a software component of OpenShift Container Platform to run and manage virtual machine workloads alongside container workloads. To validate the installation, see Red Hat Documentation.

  • Create hyperconverged CR based on the following example: 
    
apiVersion: hco.kubevirt.io/v1beta1
kind: HyperConverged
metadata:
 annotations:
  deployOVS: 'false'
 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.
  • Run the following command to patch ingress: 
    oc patch ingresscontroller -n openshift-ingress-operator default --type=json -p '[{ "op": "add", "path": "/spec/routeAdmission", "value": {wildcardPolicy: "WildcardsAllowed"}}]'
