Chapter 9. Disabling applications connected to OpenShift AI
You can disable applications and components so that they do not appear on the OpenShift AI dashboard when you no longer want to use them, for example, when data scientists no longer use an application or when the application license expires.
Disabling unused applications allows your data scientists to manually remove these application tiles from their OpenShift AI dashboard so that they can focus on the applications that they are most likely to use. See Removing disabled applications from OpenShift AI for more information about manually removing application tiles.
Do not follow this procedure when disabling the following applications:
- Anaconda Professional Edition. You cannot manually disable Anaconda Professional Edition. It is automatically disabled only when its license expires.
Prerequisites
- You have logged in to the OpenShift Container Platform web console.
-
You are part of the
cluster-adminsuser group in OpenShift Container Platform. - You have installed or configured the service on your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
- The application or component that you want to disable is enabled and appears on the Enabled page.
Procedure
- In the OpenShift Container Platform web console, switch to the Administrator perspective.
-
Switch to the
redhat-ods-applicationsproject. -
Click Operators
Installed Operators. - Click on the Operator that you want to uninstall. You can enter a keyword into the Filter by name field to help you find the Operator faster.
Delete any Operator resources or instances by using the tabs in the Operator interface.
During installation, some Operators require the administrator to create resources or start process instances using tabs in the Operator interface. These must be deleted before the Operator can uninstall correctly.
On the Operator Details page, click the Actions drop-down menu and select Uninstall Operator.
An Uninstall Operator? dialog box is displayed.
- Select Uninstall to uninstall the Operator, Operator deployments, and pods. After this is complete, the Operator stops running and no longer receives updates.
Removing an Operator does not remove any custom resource definitions or managed resources for the Operator. Custom resource definitions and managed resources still exist and must be cleaned up manually. Any applications deployed by your Operator and any configured off-cluster resources continue to run and must be cleaned up manually.
Verification
- The Operator is uninstalled from its target clusters.
- The Operator no longer appears on the Installed Operators page.
-
The disabled application is no longer available for your data scientists to use, and is marked as
Disabledon the Enabled page of the OpenShift AI dashboard. This action may take a few minutes to occur following the removal of the Operator.
