You must install a Special Resource Operator (SRO) first, before installing Veritas InfoScale. After the SRO is installed on the system, InfoScale can be deployed.
  1. Download YAML_8.0.200.tar.gz from the Veritas Download Center.
  2. Unzip and untar YAML_8.0.200.tar.gz.
After you unzip and untar YAML_8.0.200.tar.gz, the folders /YAML/OpenShift/, /YAML/DR, and /YAML/Kubernetes are created. Each folder contains files required for installation.

    • Run kubectl create -f /YAML/Kubernetes/sro.yaml on the master node to install the Special Resource Operator (SRO) .
    • Run kubectl create -f /YAML/Kubernetes/sr.yaml on the master node to create Special Resource.
  2. Run the following commands and review the output to verify whether SR creation and SRO installation is successful.
