Prepare a Namespace

You need to create a namespace in your Kubernetes cluster that contains all the resources related to your HCL DX 9.5 deployment. It is recommended that the namespace is created before the deployment because you may need to add an ImagePullSecret or configure the TLS certificate for HAProxy before deployment.

Identify a name for your namespace and create it using the following syntax:

On Kubernetes platforms

Kubectl

# Command to create a namespace using kubectl
# This example creates a namespace called "my-namespace"
kubectl create ns my-namespace

OpenShift

For OpenShift, you must create a namespace with specific settings.

Use the following namespace definition and save it as namespace.yaml. You must replace my-namespace in the template with the name of the namespace you are using.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: my-namespace
  annotations:
    openshift.io/sa.scc.mcs: "s0:c24,c4"
    openshift.io/sa.scc.supplemental-groups: "1001/10000"
    openshift.io/sa.scc.uid-range: "1000/10000"

OpenShift client

# Command to create namespace from template file
oc apply -f namespace.yaml
