Chapter 1. Adding services to a cluster using Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager console

You can add, access, and remove add-on services for your OpenShift Dedicated cluster by using Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager.

1.1. Adding an add-on service to a cluster

You can add an add-on service to an existing OpenShift Dedicated cluster by using Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager.

Prerequisites

You have created and provisioned a cluster for OpenShift Dedicated.
Your cluster meets all of the prerequisites for the service that you want to add on to your cluster.
For paid add-on services, note the following considerations:
- If the organization has sufficient quota, and if the service is compatible with the cluster, the service appears in OpenShift Cluster Manager.
- If the organization has never had quota, or if the cluster is not compatible, then the service does not display.
- If the organization had quota in the past, but the quota is currently 0, the service is still visible but disabled in OpenShift Cluster Manager until you get more quota.

Note

To add a service to a cluster, you must be the cluster owner.

Procedure

Navigate to the Cluster List page in OpenShift Cluster Manager.
Select the cluster you want to add a service to.
Click the Add-ons tab.
Click the service option you want to add, click Install. An installing icon appears, indicating that the service has begun installing.
A green check mark appears in the service option when the installation is complete. You might have to refresh your browser to see the installation status.
When the service is Installed, click View in console to access the service.

After you successfully install an add-on service on your OpenShift Dedicated cluster, you can access the service by using the OpenShift web console.
