Introduction

This chapter informs you how to install InfoScale on an OpenShift cluster. For air gapped systems on OpenShift, installer files and container images must be downloaded from the Arctera Download Center. The container images are different for each platform. OpenShift systems with internet connectivity need to download installer files (yamls) only. You can install InfoScale from a VM/Server termed as the bastion node on an OpenShift cluster.

Note:

As InfoScale supports HyperConverged architecture, all worker nodes that are a part of OpenShift cluster must be used for creating an InfoScale cluster. Arctera InfoScale™ is deployed on all the nodes you specify in the Custom Resource yaml file.
