Important

After you install BMC Helix Platform services to 22.2.01 version, you must apply the 22.2.01 hotfix 1.

Before you begin

Create a namespace.
Expand to see the steps:
1. Run the following command. The namespace must be a DNS-1123 label. That is, it must consist of lowercase alphanumeric characters or '-', and must start and end with an alphanumeric character.
```
kubectl create ns <namespace>
```
2. Verify that nothing is installed in the namespace in which you plan to deploy the product.
  1. Run the following command:
    kubectl get all -n <namespace_created_earlier_in_this_procedure>
  2. Make sure that the following message is displayed:
    
    No resources found.
For EFK logging
Create a namespace called bmc-helix-logging by using the following command:
kubectl create ns bmc-helix-logging

The Elasticsearch, FluentD, and Kibana services are installed in this namespace. These services are required to access logs from the pods that are running on BMC Helix Platform.
Configure the ingress controller.
Expand to see the steps:
1. Identify the configmap name by running the following command:
```
kubectl get cm -n <ingress_nginx_namespace>
```
2. Change the configmap name to use the configmap in your environment by running the following command:
```
kubectl edit cm <ingress_nginx_configmap> -n  <ingress_nginx_namespace>

data:
  enable-underscores-in-headers: "true"
  proxy-body-size: 250m
  server-name-hash-bucket-size: "1024"
  ssl-redirect: "false"
  use-forwarded-headers: "true"
  worker-processes: "40"
```
  Note
  
  The configurations shown above are mandatory. Apart from these, you can retain any other configurations as per your requirement.

The following host names must be created with a DNS entry that points to the load balancer. The property names are used in the infra.config and deployment.config files during deployment. Make sure that the URLs are in the same domain.

Description	Product	Format	Example	Must be configured in the load balancer?	Must have a DNS entry?	File name	Property name
Host for Helix RSSO	All	`<any unique string>.$DOMAIN`	mycomputer-rsso.lab.bmc.com	Yes	Yes	configs/infra.config	`LB_HOST`

To deploy the BMC Helix Platform services

Log in to the controller or bastion machine from where the Kubernetes cluster is accessible.
Download the deployment manager BMC_Helix_Platform_Services_for_Service_Management_Version_22.2.01.zip from BMC Electronic Product Distribution (EPD) and extract it, if you haven't already.
The ZIP file contains the following files:
- helix-on-prem-deployment-manager-22.2.01.sh—This file contains the deployment manager.
- jsons_22201_002.bzip2—This file contains the fix for the incorrect deployment file repository location issue.
- hotfix-22.2.01.001-17.tar.gz—This file contains the 22.2.01 hotfix 1 artifacts.
Download the only_ITSM_configs_22201_003.tar.xz file from EPD, if you haven't already.
This file contains the latest deployment size templates.
To download the files from EPD, see Downloading the installation files.
Go to the directory where you downloaded the deployment manager from the EPD and give the execute permission to the helix-on-prem-deployment-manager-22.2.01.sh file.

Self-extract the deployment manager. Run the following command:

./helix-on-prem-deployment-manager-22.2.01.sh
cd helix-on-prem-deployment-manager

If you are installing BMC Helix Platform services on Kubernetes 1.24 version, perform the following steps:
1. Navigate to the commons directory.
2. Open the preinstall-checker.sh file.
3. Comment the code for Kubernetes version check.

Prepare for password encryption:

Expand to see the steps:

Go to the commons/certs directory and open the secrets.txt file.

Add the following passwords to this file:

Parameter name	Description	Example
IMAGE_REGISTRY_PASSWORD	Password for the Docker registry.	5016adc4-993f-4fc5-8fb0-8ef6b02ca9d3
SMTP_PASSWORD	The password to connect to the SMTP server. In the configs/infra.config file, if the value of the the `SMTP_AUTH` parameter file is `NONE`, leave the `SMTP_PASSWORD` value blank as shown below: `SMTP_PASSWORD=""`	password123
SMART_SYSTEM_PASSWORD	Password to connect to the BMC Discovery appliance.	password123
PG_PASSWD	Password to connect to the PostgreSQL database.	password123

Save the secrets.txt file

Troubleshooting tip

Make sure that you provide all passwords in the secrets.txt file. Even if a single password is not added in the secrets.txt file, the deployment fails with an error.

Sample secrets.txt file

# cat commons/certs/secrets.txt
#Please put the passwords in this file
IMAGE_REGISTRY_PASSWORD=password123
SMTP_PASSWORD=""
SMART_SYSTEM_PASSWORD=password123
PG_PASSWD=Test2020

To install the product, run the following command:
```
./deployment-manager.sh
```
When asked, enter a password of your choice for encryption or decryption.
This password is used to encrypt all passwords that you added in the commons/certs/secrets.txt file.
Important

Save this password. The deployer uses this password in all future product deployments.
What happens next?
1. The deployer encrypts all passwords that you added in the secrets.txt file.
2. The deployer creates a commons/certs/secrets.config file and adds all the encrypted passwords to it.
3. The deployer deletes the secrets.txt file.
What happens if I need to change the encryption password?
Perform these steps if you forget the encryption password or if you need to change it:
1. Delete the commons/certs/secrets.config file.
2. In thecommons/certs directory, create secrets.txt file, and specify the encryption password.
3. Run the deployer again.
4. When asked, enter a password of your choice for encryption or decryption.
  The deployer creates a new secrets.config file with the new encryption password.

After the BMC Helix Platform services are deployed, the tenant administrator receives the following emails:

An email with details about the BMC Helix Platform account
An email to change the BMC Helix Platform account password at the first login

After the installation, you can see the Elasticsearch, Fluentd, and Kibana pods in the bmc-helix-logging namespace. You can access Kibana with the following URL:

http://<masternodeip>:5601/

All installation logs are located in the following directory:

helix-on-prem-deployment-manager/logs

To apply the hotfix

Log in to the controller or bastion machine from where the Kubernetes cluster is accessible.
In the helix-on-prem-deployment-manager/configs/deployment.config file, make sure that the INFRA and _RSSO parameter values are set to yes.
Important

The INFRA and _RSSO parameter values must be set to yes. All other parameters in the file must be set to value no.
Extract the hotfix-22.2.01.001-17.tar.gz file that you downloaded from EPD by using the following command:
```
tar xvf hotfix-22.2.01.001-17.tar.gz
```
Navigate to the hotfix directory by using the following command:
```
cd hotfix
```
If you are not using BMC Helix ITSM Insights, disable the aif chart installation in this hotfix by commenting the following line in the hotfix/new-service-list.config file:
```
ITSMINSIGHT_SERVICES=aif-core-service,aif-ticket-service
```
Run the hotfix script file hf_script.sh by using the following command and pass the full path of the previous deployment manager directory.
```
bash hf_script.sh </path/to/directory/22.2.01>/helix-on-prem-deployment-manager
```
This command creates a copy of the helix-on-prem-deployment-manager directory.
For example:
```
bash hf_script.sh /data/22.2.01/helix-on-prem-deployment-manager
```
This command creates a new directory named helix-on-prem-deployment-manager_HF1 at /data/22.2.01
After the hotfix script execution is complete, the Please enter password for encryption/decryption command prompt is displayed.
Enter the password.
