Do refer to instruction on setting up a non HA starter CP4WA version for testing here.

IBMer and partner can request of an instance OpenShift cluster where you can install CP4WA for testing.

Do ensure you request the following

  • workers nodes x5 (16CPU x64GB)

  • if you intent to have ODF then you will need additional 3 workers.

Notes:

When you provisioned a OCP with ODF, the precheck for CP4WA 3.3 failed for OCP registry check. To resolve this, you need to create a PVC and attach registry, see the documentation on how you can do this.
