Chapter 7. Installing OpenShift DR Hub Operator on Hub cluster

Procedure

1. On the Hub cluster, navigate to OperatorHub and use the search filter for OpenShift DR Hub Operator.
2. Follow the screen instructions to Install the operator into the project openshift-dr-system.

3. Create S3 secrets for the Hub cluster using the following S3 secret YAML format for the Primary managed cluster.

   apiVersion: v1
   data:
     AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: <primary cluster base-64 encoded access key>
     AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: <primary cluster base-64 encoded secret access key>
   kind: Secret
   metadata:
     name: odr-s3secret-primary
     namespace: openshift-dr-system

   Run the following command to create this secret on the Hub cluster.

   $ oc create -f odr-s3secret-primary.yaml

   Example output:

   secret/odr-s3secret-primary created

4. Create S3 secrets using the following S3 secret YAML format for the Secondary managed cluster.

   apiVersion: v1
   data:
     AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: <secondary cluster base-64 encoded access key>
     AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: <secondary cluster base-64 encoded secret access key>
   kind: Secret
   metadata:
     name: odr-s3secret-secondary
     namespace: openshift-dr-system

   Run the following command to create this secret on the Hub cluster.

   $ oc create -f odr-s3secret-secondary.yaml

   Example output:

   secret/odr-s3secret-secondary created

5. Configure ConfigMap for the OpenShift DR Hub Operator.

   After the operator is successfully created, a new ConfigMap called ramen-hub-operator-config is created.

   1. Run the following command to edit the file.

      $ oc edit configmap ramen-hub-operator-config -n openshift-dr-system

   2. Add the following new content starting at s3StoreProfiles to the ConfigMap on the Hub cluster.

      [...]
      apiVersion: v1
      data:
        ramen_manager_config.yaml: |
          apiVersion: ramendr.openshift.io/v1alpha1
          kind: RamenConfig
      [...]
          ramenControllerType: "dr-hub"
          ### Start of new content to be added
          s3StoreProfiles:
          - s3ProfileName: s3-primary
            s3CompatibleEndpoint: https://s3-openshift-storage.apps.<primary clusterID>.<baseDomain>
            s3Region: primary
            s3Bucket: odrbucket-<your value1>
            s3SecretRef:
              name: odr-s3secret-primary
              namespace: openshift-dr-system
          - s3ProfileName: s3-secondary
            s3CompatibleEndpoint: https://s3-openshift-storage.apps.<secondary clusterID>.<baseDomain>
            s3Region: secondary
            s3Bucket: odrbucket-<your value2>
            s3SecretRef:
              name: odr-s3secret-secondary
              namespace: openshift-dr-system
      [...]

      Note

      Make sure to replace <primary clusterID>, <secondary clusterID>, baseDomain, odrbucket-<your value1>, and odrbucket-<your value2> variables with exact same values as used for the ramen-cluster-operator-config ConfigMap on the managed clusters.
