Monitoring the Red Hat OpenShift cluster provisioning

You can monitor the progress of the cluster while its provisioning after you hit the Create button while installing OpenShift Container Platform by using IBM Catalog.

A message that says Creating will be shown for some time in the top of the Create button. Then, the browser will redirect to the Cluster dashboard, which contain the cluster name in the top left of the page with a message: Preparing master, workers... and a progress bar been filled by the green color. You should also see a Node status tile showing Pending, a Master status tile showing Deploying, and an Ingress status tile showing Pending.

You will see a green icon replacing the progress bar with a Normal label in the side of the cluster name. The same green icon should be displayed in the Node Status and Master status tiles. The Ingress status tile might be showing Unknown status. It might take several minutes to finish cluster's ingress configuration, but you might be able to access the cluster after some time even while its status still shows the Unknown status.

Wait some minutes and try to access the Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform Web Console. Later, if you want to go back to the page from where you can access the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Web Console again, refer to Accessing Red Hat OpenShift web console for instructions.
