Post-installation setup for watsonx Assistant

Complete post-installation tasks to finish setting up watsonx Assistant.

An administrator can perform the following tasks:

Enabling watsonx Assistant to process API requests on multiple clusters
You can configure IBM watsonx Assistant for an active-active multi-cluster deployment, enabling API requests to be processed across multiple clusters. When you enable this feature, watsonx Assistant service instances have deterministic URLs. The term active-active refers to distributing workloads across multiple clusters to enhance availability and fault tolerance. However, unlike a traditional active-active architecture, this deployment does not ensure session continuity across clusters and does not involve data replication. Each cluster operates independently in terms of session handling and data storage.
Creating a service instance for watsonx Assistant
After you install watsonx Assistant, you must create at least one watsonx Assistant service instance in the operands project. You can choose the method or methods that you want to use to create service instances.
Testing the watsonx Assistant installation
After you install watsonx Assistant, you can run a deployment verification test (DVT) to make sure that your service is working properly.
