Installing Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management

Assumptions:

• You have access to a AWS account and are using IPI to install
• You have a generated public ssh key
• You have already downloaded the IPI installation program here needed for the OCP install
• You have already created a pull secret here
• You have already created a service registry account here
• You have created project open-cluster-management

Required steps:

1. Configure aws cli for account

   • We need to run the aws command to configure the aws account we want to use on the command line. If you are not familiar with this please see here

   • Once you have the profile configured for the correct account you want to deploy you can run the following command:

     export AWS_PROFILE=YourProfileHere

2. Install the Hub and managed OCP clusters

   • Modify the install.yaml files located int acm-test-cluster-hub, acm-test-cluster-managed, and acm-test-cluster-managed-2 with your pull secret and ssh public key

   • Create the hub cluster by running the following command

     • ./openshift-install create cluster --dir=acm-test-cluster-hub --log-level=debug

   • Create the managed clusters by running the following command

     • ./openshift-install create cluster --dir=acm-test-managed --log-level=debug
     • ./openshift-install create cluster --dir=acm-test-managed-2 --log-level=debug
     • Once the manage cluster is up add label cluster = test-cluster-managed

3. Create secret needed for for registry. You should have pulled the yaml file when you created the service registry account. See assumptions if this is unclear

   • Log into the hub cluster on the command line

   • Run the following command to create the secret from the yaml file

     • oc create -f yourSecretHere.yaml --namespace=open-cluster-management

4. Apply ACM operator group via yaml file

   • oc apply -f acm-operator.yaml

5. Apply ACM subscription via yaml file

   • oc apply -f acm-subscription.yaml

6. Create multiClusterHub via yaml file

   • oc apply -f ../Training\ Material/ACM/multicluster-acm.yaml

7. Add managed cluster to Hub cluster

   • Log into ACM

     • You can do this by getting the route in the OCP cluster that is used for the hub

   • Once you are logged in

     • Select the top right drop down
     • Select Automate infrastructure
     • Select Clusters
     • Select Add cluster in drop down
     • Select Import an existing cluster

   • Generate Command

     • Configuration
       • Cluster name: acm-test-cluster-managed
     • Labels
       • Cloud: AWS
       • Environment: dev
       • additional lables: cluster = test-cluster-managed

8. Confirm you see new cluster in Hub
