Adding the online catalog sources to a cluster

Install IBM Cloud Pak® for Integration by adding the Common Services operator catalog and IBM operator catalog to your cluster. You must be a cluster administrator.

Note: This procedure applies only to clusters that are connected to the internet. For air-gapped installation, follow the guidance in Mirroring for a restricted (air-gapped) network environment.

You can add CatalogSource objects to your cluster by using the Red Hat OpenShift web console, or by using the oc command-line tool.

  • Add the IBM Common Services operators to the list of installable operators:

    1. Click the plus icon in the top screen banner to open the Import YAML dialog box.
