Installing using Helm chart

Deploy IBM Partner Engagement Manager on OpenShift Container Platform using the Helm chart.

1. Prepare the pem2-values.yaml file

   Create a custom pem2-values.yaml file based on the configuration section in chart_directory/pem2-values.yaml. Configure the following key parameters:

   • Image repository and tag
   • Service account name
   • Timezone ConfigMap name
   • Persistent volume claims settings
   • Database setup parameters
   • Identity Service configuration
   • PEM Portal and PEM 2.0 configuration
   • SSL/TLS certificate settings
2. Ensure the chart is downloaded locally
   Download the Helm chart and make it available on your local system.
3. Install the Helm chart

   helm install my-release -f pem2-values.yaml ./ibm-pem-essential \
     --timeout 3600s \
     --namespace <namespace>

   Replace my-release with your desired release name and <namespace> with your OpenShift namespace.

4. Monitor the deployment

   Depending on the capacity of the OpenShift worker node and database network connectivity, chart deployment can take:

   • 2-3 minutes for installation against a pre-loaded database
   • 10-20 minutes for installation against a new release or an older release upgrade
