Tips for setting prereqs when installing containerized UCD.

Attached are several files that I’ve found helpful related to prereqs for installing containerized UCD.

Our published operators are present in the IBM operator catalog. To include the IBM operator catalog in your OpenShift cluster, run the following command.
$ oc apply -f catalogsource-IBM.yaml

To create a MySQL database running in the current namespace/project of your OpenShift cluster, to be used by the UCD server, run the following command.
$ ./create-mysql-persistent.sh mysql1
A Kubernetes service named mysql1-svc will be created to access the database. From within the cluster you can reference that service using the form mysql1-svc.nameSpaceName.svc.cluster.local as the database hostname/address. The MySQL server will be listening on port 3306 at that hostname/address.

To create the configMap resource used to load the JDBC driver into the extlib persistent volume, run the following command.
$ oc apply -f configmap-extlib-mysql.yaml
You can then specify the configMap named ‘extlib-configmap’ when doing your UCD server install (ConfigMap Name field in the Ext Lib Volume section of the custom resource/values.yaml)
