In IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) v2021.2, when installing the API Connect Operator, it is crucial to monitor its deployment status to ensure a successful installation. This is typically done using ClusterServiceVersion (CSV), which is a Kubernetes resource managed by the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM).
The ClusterServiceVersion (CSV) represents the state of an operator and provides details about its installation, upgrades, and available APIs. The status field within the CSV object contains the installation progress and indicates whether the installation was successful (Succeeded), is still in progress (Installing), or has failed (Failed).
To query the status of the API Connect operator installation, you can run the following command:
kubectl get csv -n
or
kubectl describe csv -n
This command will return details about the CSV, including its "Phase", which should be "Succeeded" if the installation is complete.
A. The API Connect InstallPlan – While the InstallPlan is responsible for tracking the installation process of the operator, it does not explicitly indicate whether the installation was completed successfully.
C. The API Connect Operator Subscription – The Subscription resource ensures that the operator is installed and updated, but it does not provide a direct success or failure status of the installation.
D. The API Connect Operator Pod – Checking the Pod status only shows if the Operator is running but does not confirm whether the installation process itself was completed successfully.
