Setting up the installation variables

If you are pulling images from the IBM Entitled Registry, you must specify 'cp.icr.io/cp'.

The value for DOCKER_REGISTRY_ADDRESS must match the value for the imageRegistry parameter in the baas-values.yaml file.

If you are pulling images from the IBM Entitled Registry, you must specify 'cp'.

To pull images from the IBM Entitled Registry, specify the entitlement key that you obtained from the IBM Container software library.

You can avoid putting the password in the file by specifying an environment variable for any of the passwords. For example, ${DOCKERUSER_PW} or ${IBMCLOUD_API_KEY}.

To pull images from the IBM Entitled Registry, you must specify 'sppc'.

The value for DOCKER_REGISTRY_NAMESPACE must match the value for the imageRegistryNamespace parameter in the baas-values.yaml file.

The containers administrator is an IBM Spectrum Protect Plus administrator with the Containers Admin role.

You can optionally specify an environment variable for the password. For example, ${PROTECTPLUS_ADMIN_PW}.

The data mover username must adhere to the rules for usernames and passwords for Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® (RHEL) 7 operating system. The rules are the same as the ones for creating a new user on RHEL 7. For example, the password and the username must not be the same.

Set the value to true to indicate that you have reviewed and agree to the license agreement.

If you are installing the product on an OpenShift cluster, set the value to true.

If you are installing the product on a Kubernetes cluster, set the value to false.

kubectl get endpoints -n default -o yaml kubernetes

oc get endpoints -n default -o yaml kubernetes

Use the port number listed in the port field in the output.

kubectl cluster-info dump | grep -m 1 cluster-cidr

oc get network -o yaml | grep -A1 clusterNetwork:

Use the displayed IP address as the cluster CIDR address.

Enter the public facing addresses for the device. The vSnap server uses an IP filter to regulate data transfer. You can specify more than one address, which can be in IP address or CIDR format. The addresses must be on the allowlist. Otherwise, the addresses are rejected.

You can specify multiple addresses as follows:

dm:
  nfs:
    additionalAddress:
      - x.x.x.x
      - y.y.y.y
      - z.z.z.z

If you are installing Container Backup Support on a Kubernetes cluster, or if the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus server is installed as a virtual appliance, set the value to false.

If the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus server is installed as a virtual appliance and no DNS server is available, specify the IP address that is used for the SPPips parameter.

oc get route --namespace spp_server_namespace

NAME     HOST/PORT              PATH SERVICES
spp-rte  my.plus.server.example  /   sppproxy

If the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus server is installed as a virtual appliance, specify an IP address.

If you are pulling images from the IBM Entitled Registry, you must specify cp.icr.io/cp.

The value for the imageRegistry parameter must match the value for the DOCKER_REGISTRY_ADDRESS variable in the baas-options.sh file.

To pull images from the IBM Entitled Registry, you must specify sppc.

The value for the imageRegistryNamespace parameter must match the value for the DOCKER_REGISTRY_NAMESPACE variable in the baas-options.sh file.

If you do not specify a value for this parameter, the default storage class of your cluster is used. Ensure that a default storage class is defined.

If you do not specify a value for this parameter, Velero integration is unavailable and you can use Container Backup Support to protect only PVCs.
