Preparing to install a cluster on {ibm-z-title} and {ibm-linuxone-title} using user-provisioned infrastructure

You prepare to install an {product-title} cluster on {ibm-z-name} and {ibm-linuxone-name} by completing the following steps:

• Verifying internet connectivity for your cluster.

• Downloading the installation program.

  Note	If you are installing in a disconnected environment, you extract the installation program from the mirrored content. For more information, see Mirroring images for a disconnected installation.

• Installing the {oc-first}.

  Note	If you are installing in a disconnected environment, install oc to the mirror host.

• Generating an SSH key pair. You can use this key pair to authenticate into the {product-title} cluster’s nodes after it is deployed.

• Validating DNS resolution.
