Prerequisites to install by using OLM

1. Run the following commands to set the environment variable.
   export LOCAL_REGISTRY=<local_registry_host_name>:
                                    <local_registry_host_port>
export REG_CREDS=${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json
export ARCHITECTURE='<platform>/<architecture>'
 \# Where ARCHITECTURE can be linux/amd64,
 \# linux/ppc64le, linux/s390x
   1. Authenticate your local registry and registry.redhat.io .
   podman login registry.redhat.io
podman login ${LOCAL_REGISTRY}
2. Run the following command to create manifests directories.
   mkdir ~/mirror-operator
cd ~/mirror-operator
   1. The following steps are about mirroring the Red Hat operators - nfd, sro and cert-manager.
      • If the OCP version is 4.10. x
   export VTAG='v4.10'
opm index prune \
-f registry.redhat.io/redhat/redhat-operator-index:${VTAG}\
 -p nfd,openshift-special-resource-operator \
 -t ${LOCAL_REGISTRY}/catalog/redhat-operators:${VTAG}

• If the OCP version is 4.9. x
  export VTAG='v4.9'
opm index prune \
-f registry.redhat.io/redhat/redhat-operator-index:${VTAG} \
 -p openshift-cert-manager-
          operator,nfd,openshift-special-resource-operator \
 -t ${LOCAL_REGISTRY}/catalog/redhat-operators:${VTAG}
\# As openshift-cert-manager-operator is available in v4.10 only.
 \#  Let's use it for now.
opm index prune \
 -f registry.redhat.io/redhat/redhat-operator-index:v4.10 \
 -p openshift-cert-manager-operator \
 -t ${LOCAL_REGISTRY}/catalog/redhat-operators:v4.10
  Note: Repeat steps 5 to 9 forlocal index : ${LOCAL_REGISTRY}/catalog/redhat-operators:v4.10.
  1. Run the following command to push the operator index images to your local registry.
  podman push ${LOCAL_REGISTRY}/catalog/redhat-operators:${VTAG}

1. Run the following command to mirror the operators.
   oc adm catalog mirror \
 --index-filter-by-os=${ARCHITECTURE} \
 -a ${REG_CREDS} ${LOCAL_REGISTRY}/catalog/redhat-
    operators:${VTAG} \
 ${LOCAL_REGISTRY}/operators
   1. Verify the manifests directory that is generated.
   manifests-\<index_image_name\>-\<random_number\>

\# It contains
manifests-redhat-operator-index-1654068262
├── catalogSource.yaml
├── imageContentSourcePolicy.yaml
└── mapping.txt
2. Run the following command to customize the mapping.txt file with the local pull secret.
   oc image mirror \
-f <path to manifest directory>/mapping.txt -a ${REG_CREDS}
   1. Optionally, you can append the following content to catalogSource.yaml.
   displayName: Redhat Operator Catalog
 publisher: Red Hat Enterprise
 updateStrategy:
 registryPoll:
 interval: 30m

1. Prune the certified operators index for InfoScale-operator and InfoScale-licensing-operator, if you want to install by using OLM.
   opm index prune \
 -f registry.redhat.io/redhat/certified-operators:${VTAG}\
 -p infoscale-sds-operator,infoscale-licensing-operator \
 -t ${LOCAL_REGISTRY}/catalog/certified-operators:${VTAG}
   1. Run the following command to push the operator index images to your local registry.
   podman push ${LOCAL_REGISTRY}/catalog/certified-operators:${VTAG}
2. Run the following command to mirror the operators.
   oc adm catalog mirror\
--index-filter-by-os=${ARCHITECTURE} -a ${REG_CREDS}\
${LOCAL_REGISTRY}/catalog/certified-operators:${VTAG}\
${LOCAL_REGISTRY}/operators
   1. Verify the manifests directory that is generated. The format must be as under
   manifests-\<index_image_name\>-\<random_number\>
├── catalogSource.yaml
├── imageContentSourcePolicy.yaml
└── mapping.txt
3. Run the following command to customize the mapping.txt file with the local pull secret.
   oc image mirror -f \
<path to manifest directory>/mapping.txt -a ${REG_CREDS}
   1. Optionally, append the following to catalogSource.yaml.
   displayName: Certified Operator Catalog
publisher: Red Hat Enterprise
updateStrategy:
registryPoll:
interval: 30m
4. On the mirror host - Download and untar tools_8.0.100.tar from Veritas Download Center.

1. Run the following commands on the mirror node.
   cd tools
OS_VER=<OS Version> # eg: 'rhel8.4'
KERNEL=<Kernel Version of worker>' # eg: 4.18.0-305.45.1.el8_4.x86_64'
./setup_vtas_registry.sh --airgap -o $OS_VER -k $KERNEL
   A folder infoscale_operand_images.tar is automatically created.
   Run the following commands on the bastion node
   1. Copy downloaded images and files from mirror host. Run the following commands.
   scp -r <IP address of the mirror node>:~/mirror ~/
   cd ~/mirror
   1. Load infoscale images onto local registry
   OS_VER=\<OS Version\> # eg: 'rhel8.4'
KERNEL=\<Kernel Version of worker\>' # eg: 4.18.0-305.45.1.el8_4.x86_64'
podman login ${LOCAL_REGISTRY}
./setup_vtas_registry.sh --airgap -o $OS_VER -k $KERNEL \
                                  -c ${LOCAL_REGISTRY}/veritas -t

infoscale_operand_images.tar
2. To disable the sources for default catalogs

1. Apply imageContentSourcePolicy.yaml for each operator-index mirrored. Run the following commands.
   \# imageContentSourcePolicy for redhat operator index
oc create -f manifests-redhat-operators-*/imageContentSourcePolicy.yaml
\# imageContentSourcePolicy for certified operator index
oc create -f manifests-certified-operators-*/imageContentSourcePolicy.yaml
   1. For each operator index mirrored, apply catalogSource.yaml.Run the following commands.
   \# catalogSource for redhat operator index
oc create -f manifests-redhat-operators-*/catalogSource.yaml

\# catalogSource for certified operator index
oc create -f manifests-certified-operator-*/catalogSource.yaml

1. For each catalogsource created, verify whether the following resources are created successfully.

oc get catalogsource -n openshift-marketplace
oc get pods -n openshift-marketplace
oc get packagemanifest -n openshift-marketplace
\# Wait For READY State: Example: opertaor name:- redhat-operator-catalog
oc get catsrc \<operator name\> \
-n openshift-marketplace -ojsonpath=
    "{.status.connectionState.lastObservedState}"

1. Login to the OpenShift web console and check whether the mirrored operators are displayed in Operators > OperatorHub as under:
