Creating a namespace for deploying BMC Helix IT Operations Management

Before deploying BMC Helix IT Operations Management, you must create two namespaces: one for the BMC Helix IT Operations Management deployment, and one for BMC Helix Logging.

This section describes how to create a namespace for BMC Helix IT Operations Management. The namespace must be a DNS-1123 label, which means that it must consist of lowercase alphanumeric characters or '-', and must start and end with an alphanumeric character.

To know how to create a namespace for BMC Helix Logging, see Preparing-for-BMC-Helix-logging.

To create a namespace

1. Run the following command.

   kubectl create ns <namespace>
2. Verify that nothing is installed in the namespace in which you plan to deploy the product. Perform the following steps to verify:

   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.
