Installing a cluster with {op-system-base} KVM on {ibm-z-title} and {ibm-linuxone-title}

In {product-title} version {product-version}, you can install a cluster on {ibm-z-name} or {ibm-linuxone-name} infrastructure that you provision.

Note	While this document refers only to {ibm-z-name}, all information in it also applies to {ibm-linuxone-name}.

Prerequisites

You have completed the tasks in Preparing to install a cluster on {ibm-z-title} using user-provisioned infrastructure.
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.
Before you begin the installation process, you must clean the installation directory. This ensures that the required installation files are created and updated during the installation process.
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 ReadWriteMany access.
If you use a firewall, you configured it to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to.

Note

Be sure to also review this site list if you are configuring a proxy.
You provisioned a {op-system-base} Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) system that is hosted on the logical partition (LPAR) and based on {op-system-base} 8.6 or later. See Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9 Life Cycle.
