Install Visual Inspection Application

Prerequisites

You will need a RedHat OpenShift v4.8 cluster with IBM Maximo Application Suite Core v8.9. The [oneclick-core] (oneclick-core.md) playbook can be used to set this up.

Overview

This playbook will add Maximo Visual Inspection v8.7 to an existing IBM Maximo Application Suite Core installation. MVI will be configured to accept automatic security updates and bug fixes, but not new feature releases.

This playbook can be ran against any OpenShift cluster regardless of its type; whether it's running in IBM Cloud, Azure, AWS, or your local datacenter.

• Install dependencies:
  • Install NVIDIA Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) (10 minutes)
• Install Maximo Visual Inspection application:
  • Install application (15 minutes)
  • Configure workspace (10 minutes)

All timings are estimates, see the individual pages for each of these playbooks for more information. Use this sample playbook as a starting point for installing any MAS application, just customize the application install and configure stages at the end of the playbook.

Required environment variables

• MAS_INSTANCE_ID Declare the instance ID for the MAS install
• MAS_CONFIG_DIR Directory where generated config files will be saved (you may also provide pre-generated config files here)
• IBM_ENTITLEMENT_KEY Your IBM Entitlement key to access the IBM Container Registry

Optional environment variables

• MAS_APP_SETTINGS_VISUALINSPECTION_STORAGE_CLASS Defines a custom file storage class for Visual Inspection application. If none provided, then a default storage class will be auto defined accordingly to your cluster's availability i.e ibmc-file-gold for IBM Cloud or azurefiles-premium for Azure clusters.
• MAS_APP_SETTINGS_VISUALINSPECTION_STORAGE_SIZE Defines persistent storage size for Visual Inspection application. If not provided, default is 100Gi.
• MAS_APP_SETTINGS_VISUALINSPECTION_OBJECT_STORAGE_ENABLED If set to true, enables Object Storage integration with Visual Inspection.
• MAS_APP_SETTINGS_VISUALINSPECTION_OBJECT_STORAGE_WORKSPACE Defines the Object Storage bucket name to be used for Visual Inspection integration.
• CONFIGURE_COS If set to true, an Object Storage instance will be configured as MAS system scope configuration which will be used for Visual Inspection integration. See cos role documentation for detailed information.
• CONFIGURE_COS_BUCKET If set to true, an Object Storage bucket will be configured to be used for Visual Inspection application. See cos_bucket role documentation for detailed information.
