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.

   

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.
