In {product-title} version {product-version}, you can install a cluster on {ibm-power-name} infrastructure that you provision in a restricted network.

Important
|
Additional considerations exist for non-bare metal platforms. Review the information in the guidelines for deploying {product-title} on non-tested platforms before you install an {product-title} cluster. |
-
You reviewed details about the {product-title} installation and update processes.
-
You read the documentation on selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users.
-
You created a mirror registry for installation in a restricted network and obtained the
imageContentSourcesdata for your version of {product-title}. -
Before you begin the installation process, you must move or remove any existing installation files. This ensures that the required installation files are created and updated during the installation process.
ImportantEnsure that installation steps are performed on a machine with access to the installation media.
-
You provisioned persistent storage using {rh-storage} or other supported storage protocols for your cluster. To deploy a private image registry, you must set up persistent storage with
ReadWriteManyaccess. -
If you use a firewall and plan to use the Telemetry service, you configured the firewall to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to.
NoteBe sure to also review this site list if you are configuring a proxy.
For a cluster that contains user-provisioned infrastructure, you must deploy all of the required machines.
This section describes the requirements for deploying {product-title} on user-provisioned infrastructure.

To install {product-title} on {ibm-power-name} infrastructure that you provision, you must install {op-system-first} on the machines. When you install {op-system}, you must provide the Ignition config file that was generated by the {product-title} installation program for the type of machine you are installing. If you have configured suitable networking, DNS, and load balancing infrastructure, the {product-title} bootstrap process begins automatically after the {op-system} machines have rebooted.
Follow either the steps to use an ISO image or network PXE booting to install {op-system} on the machines.
-
If the mirror registry that you used to install your cluster has a trusted CA, add it to the cluster by configuring additional trust stores.
-
If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting.
