Install Runtime Component Operator Development Driver (for testing and demo purposes only)

Note: This driver is for internal testing and demo purposes only. For production use, refer to the instructions here.

  1. Update your OpenShift cluster with a global pull secret for the cp.stg.icr.io entitled registry:
  • Get an entitlement key to the IBM Entitled Container Fulfillment Registry. Log in to MyIBM Container Software Library with the IBMid and password that are associated with the entitled software. Click on 'View library' on the left and it should show that you have entitlement for 'all' IBM software. Follow the process under Obtaining a staging entitlement key if you are not able to access the library or you don't have entitlement to 'all' IBM software.
  • In the Entitlement keys section, select Copy key to copy the entitlement key to the clipboard.
  • Use the console to configure the global pull secret with entitled registry (cp.stg.icr.io) credentials.
  • In the console, click Workloads > Secrets and select the openshift-config namespace.
  • Find the existing pull-secret secret.
  • Select Edit Secret.
  • Click Add Credentials to add an entry for the entitled registry. Specify cp.stg.icr.io as the registry server address, cp as the username, and the entitlement key that you obtained in the previous step as the password.
  1. Add the CatalogSource for Runtime Component Operator:
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: CatalogSource
metadata:
  name: rco-v1-catalog
  namespace: openshift-marketplace
spec:
  displayName: RCO 2023-03-23
  image: 'cp.stg.icr.io/cp/rco-operator:catalog-1.0.0-20230323-1515'
  sourceType: grpc
  1. Install the Runtime Component Operator via OperatorHub in OpenShift UI:
  • From the OpenShift UI, click on Operators and then OperatorHub
  • In the search box type runtime component. Sometimes it takes a few minutes for the CatalogSource to be loaded by OCP. The operator won't show up until the CatalogSource is loaded.
  • Select the Runtime Component operator **from the above catalog (not Certified) and click Install
  • Complete the install with the default options
  1. Create custom resources (CRs) to deploy applications and to gather trace/dump:
