Add an OpenShift (OCP) cluster

PDS supports clusters on OpenShift Container Platform (OCP).

Prerequisites

• PDS account Admin privileges

• A supported Kubernetes cluster with Portworx Enterprise installed on it.

• Helm chart version 3.2.0 or newer

Prepare your cluster for installation

1. In the Settings → Deployment Targets page → select the Add Deployment Target button.

2. From the How to Add Deployment Targets window, select the OpenShift tab.

3. Copy the helm install command and paste it into a secure text editor.

   

note

Do not modify the helm install command.

Wait for the PDS agent to register the new deployment target in the control plane. Once successful, the status will show as a green check mark.

Prepare namespaces for deployment

After adding a target cluster to PDS, you must make any namespaces you intend to use with PDS available to it. Perform this task for each namespace you want to create and add:

1. Create a NAMESPACE env var with the namespace you want to create or add:

   export NAMESPACE=docs-test

2. Create the namespace if it doesn’t already exist:

   kubectl create namespace $NAMESPACE

3. Label the namespace:

   kubectl label namespaces $NAMESPACE pds.portworx.com/available=true --overwrite=true

Once successful, the No namespaces available error message will disappear.
