Prerequisites

  • You have access to the OpenShift Container Platform web console.
  • The OpenShift Service Mesh 3 Operator is installed and running.
  • You have created at least one Istio resource.

Procedure

  1. Confirm which version of the Istio resource runs on the installation by running the following command: 

    $ oc get istio -ojsonpath="{range .items[*]}{.spec.version}{'\n'}{end}" | sed s/^v// | sort
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    If there are multiple Istio resources with different versions, choose the latest version. The latest version is displayed last.

  2. In the OpenShift Container Platform web console, click the Help icon and select Command Line Tools.

  3. Click Download istioctl. Choose the version and architecture that matches your system.

  4. Extract the istioctl binary file.

    1. If you are using a Linux operating system, run the following command: 

      $ tar xzf istioctl-<VERSION>-<OS>-<ARCH>.tar.gz
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    2. If you are using an Apple Mac operating system, unpack and extract the archive.
    3. If you are using a Microsoft Windows operating system, use the zip software to extract the archive.

  5. Move to the uncompressed directory by running the following command: 

    $ cd istioctl-<VERSION>-<OS>-<ARCH>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  6. Add the istioctl client to the path by running the following command: 

    $ export PATH=$PWD:$PATH
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  7. Confirm that the istioctl client version and the Istio control plane version match or are within one version by running the following command: 

    $ istioctl version
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Sample output:

    client version: 1.20.0
control plane version: 1.24.3_ossm
data plane version: none
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
