Install, configure Ansible Automation Plaform and launch a migration

Prerequisites

Skip this step if you run the ansible-playbooks deployment method.

In the bastion:

cat << EOF | oc apply -f -
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:
   name: nfs
provisioner: kubernetes.io/no-provisioner
reclaimPolicy: Delete
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: nfs-pv1
spec:
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteOnce
  - ReadWriteMany
  capacity:
    storage: 10Gi
  nfs:
    path: /nfs/aap
    server: 172.18.0.13
  persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Delete
  storageClassName: nfs
  volumeMode: Filesystem
EOF

Install Ansible Execution Platform

In the bastion:

Create the ansible-automation-platform namespace:

oc new-project ansible-automation-platform

Create the OperatorGroup:

cat << EOF | oc apply -f -
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1
kind: OperatorGroup
metadata:
  name: ansible-automation-platform-operator
  namespace: ansible-automation-platform
spec:
  targetNamespaces:
    - ansible-automation-platform
EOF

Confirm the OperatorGroup is installed in the namespace:

oc get operatorgroup -n ansible-automation-platform

Subscribe to the ansible-automation-platform-operator Operator:

cat << EOF| oc apply -f -
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: Subscription
metadata:
  name: ansible-automation-platform
  namespace: ansible-automation-platform
spec:
  channel: 'stable-2.5'
  installPlanApproval: Automatic
  name: ansible-automation-platform-operator
  source: redhat-operators
  sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace
EOF

Confirm that the ansible-automation-platform-operator Operator is running. Repeat this command until you see the desired output:

oc get clusterserviceversion -n ansible-automation-platform -o custom-columns=Name:.metadata.name,Phase:.status.phase

Sample Output

Name                                               Phase
aap-operator.v2.5.0-0.1739248042                   Succeeded

Create a CR of the Ansible Automation Platform:

cat << EOF | oc apply -f -
apiVersion: aap.ansible.com/v1alpha1
kind: AnsibleAutomationPlatform
metadata:
  name: aap-for-rhoso-migrations
  namespace: ansible-automation-platform
spec:
  # Platform
  image_pull_policy: IfNotPresent
  # Components
  controller:
    disabled: false
  eda:
    disabled: false
  hub:
    disabled: false
    ## Modify to contain your RWM storage class name
    storage_type: file
    file_storage_storage_class: nfs
    file_storage_size: 10Gi

    ## uncomment if using S3 storage for Content pod
    # storage_type: S3
    # object_storage_s3_secret: example-galaxy-object-storage

    ## uncomment if using Azure storage for Content pod
    # storage_type: azure
    # object_storage_azure_secret: azure-secret-name
  lightspeed:
    disabled: true
EOF

Confirm that the Ansible Automation Platform pods are running. This could take around 10 min:

oc get pods -n ansible-automation-platform

Sample Output
