   Basics (Required)

   • Resource group

     This resource group is a new boot node resource group, as the boot node is created in this resource group. The Red Hat OpenShift cluster is created in its own resource group that is created by the Red Hat OpenShift installer when you use the New OpenShift cluster (IPI) option.

     From Maximo Application Suite 8.8 or later, when you use the 'New OpenShift cluster, existing network (UPI) option, the Red Hat OpenShift cluster resources are created in the resource group where the existing VNet is configured.

   • Region
   • Subscription Id
   • Public key value
   • Boot node NSG Ingress CIDR range
   • Bootnode Subnet CIDR IP range

     The Bootnode Subnet Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) IP range is required for UPI and existing OCP deployments.

     Tip: The bootnode subnet CIDR range should be in the Vnet CIDR range.
     Starting in 8.10, if you are reusing existing Red Hat OpenShift cluster or starting in 8.11, if you are using existing Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift cluster, the following options are available.

     • BootNodeVnetId
     • BootNodeVnetResourceGroup

   Application Settings (Optional)

     If you provision a new Red Hat OpenShift cluster by using the IPI option, the hosted domain value is fetched from the Public DNS zone. If you provision an existing Red Hat OpenShift cluster by using the UPI option, the hosted domain value is fetched from the Private DNS zone for installing a private cluster and DNS Zone for a public cluster.
