Preparing to install in an OpenShift cluster
If you are installing BMC Helix Service Management in an OpenShift cluster, perform the following steps on your Jenkins server before you begin the installation:
Make sure that the OpenShift cluster has the NGINX Ingress Controller or Operator, by default.
See Deploying the ingress controller for OpenShift or Kubernetes in .
For all the product components, make sure that you increase the number of threads to 4096 per node so that sufficient threads are available to the processes running in the containers.
To increase the number of threads, perform the steps given in Unable to create more than 1024 Threads in OCP 4 in the Red Hat documentation.
For more information, see Number of threads in the Elasticsearch documentation.Allocate resources for nodes to prevent issues such as worker nodes going down.
See Allocating resources for nodes in an OpenShift Container Platform cluster in the OpenShift documentation.
