Red Hat OpenShift

Trilio is available as a certified Operator in the embedded OperatorHub for OpenShift environments.

  1. Log in to RedHat OpenShift Container Platform.

  2. From the Operators dropdown in the left panel menu, select OperatorHub.

3. In the search field start to type 'Trilio'. The search narrows as you type. Alternatively filter by category and you will find T4K in the Database, Monitoring, Security, and Developer Tools categories. Trilio is also currently working with RedHat to create a new Data Protection category within the embedded OperatorHub in which to host the T4K data protection application.

4. Select the result for Trilio for Kubernetes that bears the Certified approval.

If the T4K tile is not available within OperatorHub (which could happen because of pipeline issues), follow the instructions to install via a CustomCatalog Source

5. Click Install.

6. From the Install Operator page displayed, select the channel to install.

7. For Installation mode, choose between making Operator available for:

- All namespaces on the cluster

- or A specific namespace on the cluster If you select the latter, the Installed Namespace dropdown becomes active and you can select a specific namespace.

8. Select the Update approval. You can choose between Automatic or Manual.

9. Click Install.

10. After installation, ensure that the notification is indicates success.

11. Optionally, for default ingress, run the following command to ensure that Trilio can use the built-in ingress controller for OpenShift within the cluster for networking:

oc -n openshift-ingress-operator patch ingresscontroller/default --patch '{"spec":
{"routeAdmission":{"namespaceOwnership":"InterNamespaceAllowed"}}}' --type=merge

For future confirmation of successful installation, to see if updates have applied successfully, or to take further actions, from the left menu panel select Operator > Installed Operators.

Offline Install

Trilio for Kubernetes has been designed to support installation in a restricted or disconnected network as part of the OLM framework. Please follow the instructions from the OpenShift Documentation and refer to this detailed video to install T4K in an offline environment.

Proxy enabled Environments

Trilio for Kubernetes automatically picks up the proxy settings that are defined for the OpenShift cluster in the proxy/cluster CR. No user configuration is required.

After installation the next step is #licensing-tvk
