Installing Orchestration Pipelines runtime on a remote physical location

Tech preview This is a technology preview and is not supported for use in production environments. If you want to enable users to create Orchestration Pipelines runtimes on a remote physical location, you must deploy the Orchestration Pipelines operator on a remote cluster. It will install the Orchestration Pipelines runtime resources that are dealing with workload.

Before you begin

Best practice: You can run the commands in this task exactly as written if you use set up environment variables for the remote physical location in addition to the installation environment variables script. For instructions, see Setting up environment variables for a remote physical location.

Before you run the commands in this task, ensure that you source the environment variables for:

The primary cluster
The remote physical location

You must have installed the DataStage operator on a remote physical location and create a service instance for DataStage. See Installing DataStage on a remote physical location.

Procedure

Log the cpd-cli in to the Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform cluster:
```
${REMOTE_CPDM_OC_LOGIN}
```
Remember: REMOTE_CPDM_OC_LOGIN is an alias for the cpd-cli manage login-to-ocp command when you are connecting to a remote cluster.
Set the DS_REMOTE_INSTANCE_NAME to the name of the DataStage service instance that is running on the remote physical location:
```
export DS_REMOTE_INSTANCE_NAME=<instance-name>
```

Run the following command:

export DS_PX_RDP_PVC="${DS_REMOTE_INSTANCE_NAME}-ibm-datastage-px-storage-pvc"

Install the Orchestration Pipelines operator on the remote physical location:
1. Download the operator deployment script, deploy_operator.sh, from the RemoteDataPlane folder on IBM/Orchestration Pipelines repository on GitHub.
2. Change to the directory where you downloaded the script.
3. Run the following command to deploy the operator:
```
./deploy_operator.sh --namespace ${REMOTE_PROJECT_MANAGEMENT} --datastage_pvc ${DS_PX_RDP_PVC} --storage_class ${REMOTE_STG_CLASS_FILE}
```

What to do next

Now that you've installed service-specific software on the physical location, you're ready to complete Registering a remote physical location with an instance of IBM Software Hub. Then, you can Enable Orchestration Pipelines runtime on a remote physical location.
