Installing prerequisite
You can use existing prerequisite software installations. Verify that the DX containers are hosted in a customer-owned container repository.
Deploying Digital Experience
Gather information and software before you install.
- Download the dxDeployment.9.0.5.zip archive from the HCL Software Licensing Portal.
- Extract the contents of the archive.
- Load the containers onto the local repository. Choose from:
-
docker load -i dXOperator.9.0.5.tar
-
docker load -i dxEnable.9.0.5.tar
-
- From the local repository, push the containers to a repository accessible from your OpenShift deployment.
- Open a terminal window.
- From the deploy folder, open the operator.yaml file.
- Go to the
and enter the location of the container repository after# Replace this with the built image name
image:
. For example,image: 123456.dkr.ecr.us-east.amazonaws.com/artifactory:hcldx-cloud-operator.v9.0.5
. - To install the DxDeployment custom resource definition, run the script
deployCrd.sh
or run the following command:kubectl create -f ./deploy/crds/git_v1_dxdeployment_crd.yaml
- In your OpensShift deployment, create the DX namespace. For example,
dx-deployment
. - To install the project scoped service account, the role, the role binding, and the
operator, run the script,
deployDx.sh
. The syntax of this command isdeployDx.sh namespace
. For example:deployDx.sh dx-deployment
- To remove the DX namespace, install the project scoped service account, the role,
the role binding, and the operator, run the script
removeDx.sh
. The syntax of this command isremoveDx.sh namespace
. For example:removeDx.sh dx-deployment
- To update the DX namespace, install the project scoped service account, the role,
the role binding, and the operator, run the script
updateDx.sh
. The syntax of this command isremoveDx.sh namespace
. For example:updateDx.sh dx-deployment
