Installing a cluster on RHV with customizations
- Prerequisites
- Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform
- Requirements for the RHV environment
- Verifying the requirements for the RHV environment
- Preparing the network environment on RHV
- Installing OpenShift Container Platform on RHV in insecure mode
- Generating a key pair for cluster node SSH access
- Obtaining the installation program
- Creating the installation configuration file
- Deploying the cluster
- Installing the OpenShift CLI by downloading the binary
- Logging in to the cluster by using the CLI
- Verifying cluster status
- Accessing the OpenShift Container Platform web console on RHV
- Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform
- Troubleshooting common issues with installing on Red Hat Virtualization (RHV)
- Post-installation tasks
- Next steps
You can customize and install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on Red Hat Virtualization (RHV), similar to the one shown in the following diagram.
The installation program uses installer-provisioned infrastructure to automate creating and deploying the cluster.
To install a customized cluster, you prepare the environment and perform the following steps:
-
Create an installation configuration file, the
install-config.yamlfile, by running the installation program and answering its prompts. -
Inspect and modify parameters in the
install-config.yamlfile. -
Make a working copy of the
install-config.yamlfile. -
Run the installation program with a copy of the
install-config.yamlfile.
Then, the installation program creates the OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
For an alternative to installing a customized cluster, see Installing a default cluster.
|
This installation program is available for Linux and macOS only. |
Prerequisites
-
You reviewed details about the OpenShift Container Platform installation and update processes.
-
You have a supported combination of versions in the Support Matrix for OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat Virtualization (RHV).
-
You read the documentation on selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users.
-
If you use a firewall, you configured it to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to.
Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform
In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, you require access to the internet to install your cluster.
You must have internet access to:
-
Access OpenShift Cluster Manager to download the installation program and perform subscription management. If the cluster has internet access and you do not disable Telemetry, that service automatically entitles your cluster.
-
Access Quay.io to obtain the packages that are required to install your cluster.
-
Obtain the packages that are required to perform cluster updates.

If your cluster cannot have direct internet access, you can pe |
