In OKD 4.17, you can install a cluster on Nutanix infrastructure in a restricted network by creating an internal mirror of the installation release content.
You have reviewed details about the OKD installation and update processes.
The installation program requires access to port 9440 on Prism Central and Prism Element. You verified that port 9440 is accessible.
If you use a firewall, you have met these prerequisites:
You confirmed that port 9440 is accessible. Control plane nodes must be able to reach Prism Central and Prism Element on port 9440 for the installation to succeed.
You configured the firewall to grant access to the sites that OKD requires. This includes the use of Telemetry.
If your Nutanix environment is using the default self-signed SSL/TLS certificate, replace it with a certificate that is signed by a CA. The installation program requires a valid CA-signed certificate to access to the Prism Central API. For more information about replacing the self-signed certificate, see the Nutanix AOS Security Guide.
If your Nutanix environment uses an internal CA to issue certificates, you must configure a cluster-wide proxy as part of the installation process. For more information, see Configuring a custom PKI.
Use 2048-bit certificates. The installation fails if you use 4096-bit certificates with Prism Central 2022.x. |
You have a container image registry, such as Red Hat Quay. If you do not already have a registry, you can create a mirror registry using mirror registry for Red Hat OpenShift.
You have used the oc-mirror OpenShift CLI (oc) plugin to mirror all of the required OKD content and other images, including the Nutanix CSI Operator, to your mirror registry.
Because the installation media is on the mirror host, you can use that computer to complete all installation steps. |
In OKD 4.17, you can perform an installation that does not require an active connection to the internet to obtain software components. Restricted network installations can be completed using installer-provisioned infrastructure or user-provisioned infrastructure, depending on the cloud platform to which you are installing the cluster.
If you choose to perform a restricted network installation on a cloud platform, you still require access to its cloud APIs. Some cloud functions, like Amazon Web Service’s Route 53 DNS and IAM services, require internet access. Depending on your network, you might require less internet access for an installation on bare metal hardware, Nutanix, or on VMware vSphere.
To complete a restricted network installation, you must create a registry that mirrors the contents of the OpenShift image registry and contains the installation media. You can create this registry on a mirror host, which can access both the internet and your closed network, or by using other methods that meet your restrictions.
Clusters in restricted networks have the following additional limitations and restrictions:
The ClusterVersion
status includes an Unable to retrieve available updates
error.
By default, you cannot use the contents of the Developer Catalog because you cannot access the required image stream tags.
During an OKD installation, you can provide an SSH public key to the installation program. The key is passed to the Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) nodes through their Ignition config files and is used to authenticate SSH access to the nodes. The key is added to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
list for the core
user on each node, which enables password-less authentication.
After the key is passed to the nodes, you can use the key pair to SSH in to the FCOS nodes as the user core
. To access the nodes through SSH, the private key identity must be managed by SSH for your local user.
If you want to SSH in to your cluster nodes to perform installation debugging or disaster recovery, you must provide the SSH public key during the installation process. The ./openshift-install gather
command also requires the SSH public key to be in place on the cluster nodes.
Do not skip this procedure in production environments, where disaster recovery and debugging is required. |
You must use a local key, not one that you configured with platform-specific approaches such as AWS key pairs. |
On clusters running Fedora CoreOS (FCOS), the SSH keys specified in the Ignition config files are written to the |
If you do not have an existing SSH key pair on your local machine to use for authentication onto your cluster nodes, create one. For example, on a computer that uses a Linux operating system, run the following command:
$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -N '' -f <path>/<file_name> (1)
1 | Specify the path and file name, such as ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 , of the new SSH key. If you have an existing key pair, ensure your public key is in the your ~/.ssh directory. |
If you plan to install an OKD cluster that uses the Fedora cryptographic libraries that have been submitted to NIST for FIPS 140-2/140-3 Validation on only the |
View the public SSH key:
$ cat <path>/<file_name>.pub
For example, run the following to view the ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
public key:
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
Add the SSH private key identity to the SSH agent for your local user, if it has not already been added. SSH agent management of the key is required for password-less SSH authentication onto your cluster nodes, or if you want to use the ./openshift-install gather
command.
On some distributions, default SSH private key identities such as |
If the ssh-agent
process is not already running for your local user, start it as a background task:
$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
Agent pid 31874
If your cluster is in FIPS mode, only use FIPS-compliant algorithms to generate the SSH key. The key must be either RSA or ECDSA. |
Add your SSH private key to the ssh-agent
:
$ ssh-add <path>/<file_name> (1)
1 | Specify the path and file name for your SSH private key, such as ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 |
Identity added: /home/<you>/<path>/<file_name> (<computer_name>)
When you install OKD, provide the SSH public key to the installation program.
Because the installation program requires access to the Prism Central API, you must add your Nutanix trusted root CA certificates to your system trust before you install an OKD cluster.
From the Prism Central web console, download the Nutanix root CA certificates.
Extract the compressed file that contains the Nutanix root CA certificates.
Add the files for your operating system to the system trust. For example, on a Fedora operating system, run the following command:
# cp certs/lin/* /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors
Update your system trust. For example, on a Fedora operating system, run the following command:
# update-ca-trust extract
Prism Central requires access to the Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) image to install the cluster. You can use the installation program to locate and download the FCOS image and make it available through an internal HTTP server or Nutanix Objects.
Obtain the OKD installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. For a restricted network installation, these files are on your mirror host.
Change to the directory that contains the installation program and run the following command:
$ ./openshift-install coreos print-stream-json
Use the output of the command to find the location of the Nutanix image, and click the link to download it.

Make the image available through an internal HTTP server or Nutanix Objects.
Note the location of the downloaded image. You update the platform
section in the installation configuration file (install-config.yaml
) with the image’s location before deploying the cluster.
install-config.yaml
file that specifies the FCOS imageplatform:
nutanix:
clusterOSImage: http://example.com/images/rhcos-411.86.202210041459-0-nutanix.x86_64.qcow2
You can customize the OKD cluster you install on Nutanix.
You have the OKD installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. For a restricted network installation, these files are on your mirror host.
You have the imageContentSourcePolicy.yaml
file that was created when you mirrored your registry.
You have the location of the Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) image you download.
You have obtained the contents of the certificate for your mirror registry.
You have retrieved a Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) image and uploaded it to an accessible location.
You have verified that you have met the Nutanix networking requirements. For more information, see "Preparing to install on Nutanix".
Create the install-config.yaml
file.
Change to the directory that contains the installation program and run the following command:
$ ./openshift-install create install-config --dir <installation_directory> (1)
1 | For <installation_directory> , specify the directory name to store the
files that the installation program creates. |
When specifying the directory:
Verify that the directory has the execute
permission. This permission is required to run Terraform binaries under the installation directory.
Use an empty directory. Some installation assets, such as bootstrap X.509 certificates, have short expiration intervals, therefore you must not reuse an installation directory. If you want to reuse individual files from another cluster installation, you can copy them into your directory. However, the file names for the installation assets might change between releases. Use caution when copying installation files from an earlier OKD version.
At the prompts, provide the configuration details for your cloud:
Optional: Select an SSH key to use to access your cluster machines.
For production OKD clusters on which you want to perform installation debugging or disaster recovery, specify an SSH key that your |

Failure domains improve the fault tolerance of an OKD cluster by distributing control plane and compute machines across multiple Nutanix Prism Elements (clusters).
It is recommended that you configure three failure domains to ensure high-availability. |
You have an installation configuration file (install-config.yaml
).
Edit the install-config.yaml
file and add the following stanza to configure the first failure domain:
apiVersion: v1
baseDomain: example.com
compute:
# ...
platform:
nutanix:
failureDomains:
- name: <failure_domain_name>
prismElement:
name: <prism_element_name>
uuid: <prism_element_uuid>
subnetUUIDs:
- <network_uuid>
# ...
where:
<failure_domain_name>
Specifies a unique name for the failure domain. The name is limited to 64 or fewer characters, which can include lower-case letters, digits, and a dash (-
). The dash cannot be in the leading or ending position of the name.
<prism_element_name>
Optional. Specifies the name of the Prism Element.
<prism_element_uuid
>Specifies the UUID of the Prism Element.
<network_uuid
>Specifies the UUID of the Prism Element subnet object. The subnet’s IP address prefix (CIDR) should contain the virtual IP addresses that the OKD cluster uses. Only one subnet per failure domain (Prism Element) in an OKD cluster is supported.
As required, configure additional failure domains.
To distribute control plane and compute machines across the failure domains, do one of the following:
If compute and control plane machines can share the same set of failure domains, add the failure domain names under the cluster’s default machine configuration.
apiVersion: v1
baseDomain: example.com
compute:
# ...
platform:
nutanix:
defaultMachinePlatform:
failureDomains:
- failure-domain-1
- failure-domain-2
- failure-domain-3
# ...
If compute and control plane machines must use different failure domains, add the failure domain names under the respective machine pools.
apiVersion: v1
baseDomain: example.com
compute:
# ...

Production environments can deny direct access to the internet and instead have
an HTTP or HTTPS proxy available. You can configure a new OKD
cluster to use a proxy by configuring the proxy settings in the
install-config.yaml
file.
You have an existing install-config.yaml
file.
You reviewed the sites that your cluster requires access to and determined whether any of them need to bypass the proxy. By default, all cluster egress traffic is proxied, including calls to hosting cloud provider APIs. You added sites to the Proxy

4 | If provided, the installation program generates a config map that is named user-ca-bundle in
the openshift-config namespace that contains one or more additional CA
certificates that are required for proxying HTTPS connections. The Cluster Network
Operator then creates a trusted-ca-bundle config map that merges these contents
with the Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) trust bundle, and this config map is referenced in the trustedCA field of the Proxy object. The additionalTrustBundle field is required unless
the proxy’s identity certificate is signed by an authority from the FCOS trust
bundle. |
5 | Optional: The policy to determine the configuration of the Proxy object to reference the user-ca-bundle config map in the trustedCA field. The allowed values are Proxyonly and Always .

Complete the following steps to complete the configuration of your cluster.
Operator catalogs that source content provided by Red Hat and community projects are configured for OperatorHub by default during an OKD installation. In a restricted network environment, you must disable the default catalogs as a cluster administrator.
Disable the sources for the default catalogs by adding disableAllDefaultSources: true
to the OperatorHub
object:
$ oc patch OperatorHub cluster --type json \
-p '[{"op": "add", "path": "/spec/disableAllDefaultSources", "value": true}]'
Alternatively, you can use the web console to manage catalog sources. From the Administration → Cluster Settings → Configuration → OperatorHub page, click the Sources tab, where you can create, update, delete, disable, and enable individual sources. |
Mirroring the OKD content using the oc-mirror OpenShift CLI (oc) plugin creates resources, which include catalogSource-certified-operator-index.yaml
and imageContentSourcePolicy.yaml
.
The ImageContentSourcePolicy
resource associates the mirror registry with the source registry and redirects image pull requests from the online registries to the mirror registry.
The CatalogSource
resource is used by Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) to retrieve information about the available Operators in the mirror registry, which lets users discover and install Operators.
After you install the cluster, you must install these resources into the cluster.
You have mirrored the image set to the registry mirror in the disconnected environment.
You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin
role.
Log in to the OpenShift CLI as a user with the cluster-admin
role.
Apply the YAML files from the results directory to the cluster:
$ oc apply -f ./oc-mirror-workspace/results-<id>/
Verify that the ImageContentSourcePolicy
resources were successfully installed:
$ oc get imagecontentsourcepolicy
Verify that the CatalogSource
resources were successfully installed:
$ oc get catalogsource --all-namespaces
After you install the cluster, you must install the Nutanix CSI Operator and configure the default storage container for the cluster.
For more information, see the Nutanix documentation for installing the CSI Operator and configuring registry storage.
