Note: This driver is for internal testing and demo purposes only. For production use, refer to the instructions here.

  1. Update your OpenShift cluster with a global pull secret for the cp.stg.icr.io entitled registry:
  • Get an entitlement key to the IBM Entitled Container Fulfillment Registry. Log in to MyIBM Container Software Library with the IBMid and password that are associated with the entitled software. Click on 'View library' on the left and it should show that you have entitlement for 'all' IBM software. Follow the process under Obtaining a staging entitlement key if you are not able to access the library or you don't have entitlement to 'all' IBM software.
  • In the Entitlement keys section, select Copy key to copy the entitlement key to the clipboard.
  • Use the console to configure the global pull secret with entitled registry (cp.stg.icr.io) credentials.
  • In the console, click Workloads > Secrets and select the openshift-config namespace.
  • Find the existing pull-secret secret.
  • Select Edit Secret.
  • Click Add Credentials to add an entry for the entitled registry. Specify cp.stg.icr.io as the registry server address, cp as the username, and the entitlement key that you obtained in the previous step as the password.
