2.10.4.2. Adding a project to the mesh using the ServiceMeshMember resource with the CLI

Prerequisites

• You have installed the Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh Operator.
• You know the name of the ServiceMeshControlPlane resource and the name of the project it belongs to.
• You know the name of the project you want to add to the mesh.
• A service mesh administrator must explicitly grant access to the service mesh. Administrators can grant users permissions to access the mesh by assigning them the mesh-user Role using a RoleBinding or ClusterRoleBinding. For more information, see Creating the Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh members.

Verification

• Verify that the namespace is part of the mesh by running the following command. Confirm the that the value True appears in the READY column.

  $ oc get smm default -n my-application

  Example output

  NAME      CONTROL PLANE        READY   AGE
  default   istio-system/basic   True    2m11s

• Alternatively, view the ServiceMeshMemberRoll resource to confirm that the my-application namespace is displayed in the status.members and status.configuredMembers fields of the ServiceMeshMemberRoll resource.

  $ oc describe smmr default -n istio-system

  Example output

  Name:         default
  Namespace:    istio-system
  Labels:       <none>
  # ...
  Status:
  # ...
    Configured Members:
      default
      my-application
  # ...
    Members:
      default
      my-application
