Installing the Operator

Install the watsonx Assistant for Z operator from the OperatorHub in the Red Hat OpenShift console.

1. Log in to Red Hat OpenShift CLI (OC) by using your cluster credentials.
2. Click Operators > OperatorHub.
3. From the Project drop-down list, select the namespace that you created and click the watsonx Assistant for Z operator.
4. From the side panel, click Install and provide the following information:
   Note: Channel and Version values are derived from the image that is used when creating the catalog source. Keep these fields at their default values.

   
   1. Select the installation mode as A specific namespace on the cluster.
      In the Installed Namespace field, the namespace where the operator is available is selected by default.
   2. Under Update Approval, select Automatic if you want the operator to be updated based on the updates to the channel. Otherwise, select Manual.
   3. Click Install.
5. After the installation is completed, update the operator group targeting the namespaces where you will deploy BYOSearch, AIOpsIntegration, and Topology CRs.
   1. Run the following command to get the name of the operator group:

      oc -n wxa4z-operator get operatorgroup

      The output should contain a single operator group as shown in the following example:

      NAME                     AGE     
      wxa4z-operator-fhrjz     6d7h

   2. Run the following command to update the list of targeted namespaces:

      oc -n wxa4z-operator patch operatorgroup <operatorgroup-name> --type=merge -p '{"spec": {"targetNamespaces": ["wxa4z-zad", "wxa4z-aiops", "wxa4z-topology"]}}'

      where 'operatorgroup-name' is the operator group name from the previous output.
