Installing Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and Maximo Application Suite on a Windows system

You can install Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform and IBM® Maximo® Application Suite on a single computer, such as a laptop for evaluation or development purpose. You can use this installation to evaluate a compact Maximo Application Suite and Maximo Manage that are installed on a single computer. The following example uses a Windows system.

Before you begin

Attention: Installing on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and IBM Maximo Application Suite on a single computer or locally is not supported. Any issues encountered with the installation scripts or setup process is outside of the scope of support.

Before you install IBM Maximo Application Suite on a Windows computer, review the virtual environment and software requirements.

This deployment requires 14 virtual CPUs and 30 GiB of memory in the virtual environment.

This deployment requires Red Hat OpenShift Local 2.19, formerly known as Red Hat CodeReady Containers, that includes Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.12.

Windows 11 is the required operating system for this installation.

Important: Maximo Application Suite does not support file systems that are not POSIX-compliant . For example, some NFS file system implementations are not POSIX-compliant. If you want to use an NFS file system for storage, verify with the vendor that the NFS implementation is fully POSIX-compliant.

About this task

In this installation, IBM Suite License Service and IBM Db2® are installed locally and the slim version of IBM User Data Services is used. A slim User Data Services is required because a full User Data Services deployment does not fit in the configured size of the locally installed Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
