Chapter 3. Deploying Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
With the prerequisites met, the focus shifts to the installation Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. The installation and configuration is done via a series of Ansible playbooks and roles provided by the OpenShift RPM packages.
Run the installer playbook to install Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform:
$ ansible-playbook /usr/share/ansible/openshift-ansible/playbooks/deploy_cluster.ymlThe playbooks runs through the complete process of installling Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and reports a playbook recap showing the number of changes and errors (if any).

3.1. Cloudforms Integration (Optional)
The steps defined below assume that Red Hat Cloudforms has been deployed and is accessible by the OpenShift environment.
To receive the most information about the deployed environment ensure that the OpenShift metrics components are deployed.
3.1.1. Requesting the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Management Token
The management token is used to allow for Cloudforms to retrieve information from the recently deployed OpenShift environment.
To request this token run the following command from a system with the oc client installed and from an account that has privileges to request the token from the management-infra namespace.
oc sa get-token -n management-infra management-admin eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.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.LwNm0652paGcJu7m63PxBhs4mjXwYcqMS5KD-0aWkEMCPo64WwNEawyyYH31SvuEPaE6qFxZwDdJHwdNsfq1CjUL4BtZHv1I2QZxpVl6gMBQowNf6fWSeGe1FDZ4lkLjzAoMOCFUWA0Z7lZM1FAlyjfz2LkPNKaFW0ffelSJ2SteuXB_4FNup-T5bKEPQf2pyrwvs2DadClyEEKpIrdZxuekJ9ZfIubcSc3pp1dZRu8wgmSQSLJ1N75raaUU5obu9cHjcbB9jpDhTW347oJOoL_Bj4bf0yyuxjuUCp3f4fs1qhyjHb5N5LKKBPgIKzoQJrS7j9Sqzo9TDMF9YQ5JLQ
3.1.2. Adding OpenShift as a Containtainer Provider
Now that the token has been acquired, perform the following steps in the link below to add Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform to Red Hat Cloudforms.
3.1.3. Adding Red Hat OpenStack Platform to Cloudforms
Red Hat Cloudforms also allows for not only the management of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform but also for the management of Red Hat OpenStack Platform. The link below contains the steps for adding Red Hat OpenStack Platform to Cloudforms.
