Chapter 1. Overview
In order to install RHMAP you need to use:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- Red Hat subscription-manager
- Ansible
- OpenShift
This documentation assumes a level of proficiency in these technologies. Red Hat recommends you consult the appropriate documentation or complete courses, for example, Red Hat Certifications before attempting to install RHMAP.
Installing RHMAP self-managed on an OpenShift active-active configuration as described in the Architecture Guide is not supported.
You install RHMAP using Ansible, that is, you use an Ansible playbook (sometimes called an installer) to provision the following components:
Familarity with Ansible will improve your experience and becomes more necessary if you system is complex, for example, if you require a HTTP Proxy.
Red Hat recommends you have OpenShift experience and a good understanding of your network configuration before attempting to install RHMAP in any configuration other than a single node system.
Follow the steps below, in the following order, to install RHMAP:
- Chapter 2, Preparing Infrastructure for Installation - Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux, register with Red Hat Subscription Manager, install OpenShift Container Platform on each node of the cluster. Install the RHMAP RPMs. See Appendix A, RHMAP Ansible Playbook Pre-Requisite Checks for more details of the requirements.
- Chapter 3, Using a Container Image to Install RHMAP (Optional) - Optional installation method, using a container image
- Chapter 4, Provisioning an RHMAP 4.x Core
- Chapter 5, Provisioning an RHMAP 4.x MBaaS on OpenShift Container Platform - you can install one or more MBaaSes.
- Chapter 6, Post-installation Tasks - set up email configuration or logging.
