Installation of the server software in an air-gapped environment

You can find information about the tasks that you can perform to install Rational® Test Automation Server on the Red Hat OpenShift platform in an air-gapped environment.

If your OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) cluster is within a restricted network with no access to the internet, then you can install the product on such OCP clusters by using an air-gapped environment. To install the product, unlike online installations, air-gapped installations require an internal registry to mimic a typical online installation by using images from your internal registry.

In an air-gapped environment, you can mirror the images of Rational® Test Automation Server from IBM Entitled Registry to the internal Docker registry that has access to the OCP cluster. With the help of a Bastion host that can connect to the internet and your OCP cluster, you can install Rational® Test Automation Server on the OCP cluster.
