Installing the Container Backup Support operator and instance at the Kubernetes command line

You can use the command line in the Kubernetes environment to install the Container Backup Support operator and instance from the IBM® Entitled Registry.

Before you begin

Ensure that you complete the tasks in Preparing to install the Container Backup Support operator on Kubernetes.

About this task

To install the Container Backup Support operator and instance, you must create and apply the operator group, operator subscription, and custom resource for Container Backup Support.

Procedure

Create the operator group for Container Backup Support:

Create a file named baas-k8s-operatorgroup.yaml that contains the following configuration:

apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1
kind: OperatorGroup
metadata:
  name: baas-ibmsppc
  namespace: baas
  annotations:
    olm.providedAPIs: IBMSPPC.v1.sppc.ibm.com
spec:
  targetNamespaces:
  - baas

Apply the YAML file that you created by issuing the following command:
```
kubectl apply -f ./baas-k8s-operatorgroup.yaml
```

Create the subscription for Container Backup Support:

Create a file named baas-k8s-subscription.yaml that contains the following configuration:

apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: Subscription
metadata:
  name: baas-operator
  namespace: baas
spec:
  channel: v1.4
  installPlanApproval: Automatic
  name: ibmsppc-operator
  source: ibm-sppc-operator
  sourceNamespace: olm

Apply the YAML file that you created by issuing the following command:
```
kubectl apply -f ./baas-k8s-subscription.yaml
```

The Container Backup Support operator is deployed.

Install the Container Backup Support instance by completing the following steps:

Create the custom resource for Container Backup Support by saving the following block of information to a file named baas-values-cr.yaml:

apiVersion: sppc.ibm.com/v1
kind: IBMSPPC
metadata:
  namespace: baas
  name: ibmsppc-entitled-registry
spec:
  state: present
  version: 10.1.10
  license: 
    accept: false | true
  use_nodeport: false

  velero_namespace: spp-velero
  cluster_nodes_fqdn:
    - cluster_node-fqdn-controlplane-1
    - cluster_node-fqdn-controlplane-2
    - cluster_node-fqdn-worker-1
    - cluster_node-fqdn-worker-2
    - cluster_node-fqdn-worker-3

For information about the values to use in the baas-values-cr.yaml file, see Setting up configuration parameters in the baas-values-cr.yaml file.

Apply the custom resource by issuing the following command:
```
kubectl apply -f ./baas-values-cr.yaml
```

Results

If the Container Backup Support instance is created successfully, the operator deploys all the pods that are required to run Container Backup Support. All the pods will load and change to the Running state after a few minutes. When all pods are running, the deployment is completed.

To verify that all pods are in the Running state and no components are missing, issue the following command:

kubectl get pods -n baas

The list of pods in the output is similar to the following example:
