Pre-requisites

Installation

Repeat the following steps on both clusters:

  1. Create a namespace where Application Mobility will be installed. 
    kubectl create ns application-mobility
  2. Edit the license Secret file (see Pre-requisites above) and set the correct namespace (ex: namespace: application-mobility)
  3. Create the Secret containing a license file 
    kubectl apply -f license.yml
  4. Add the Dell Helm Charts repository 
    helm repo add dell https://dell.github.io/helm-charts
  5. Either create a values.yml file or provide the --set options to the helm install to override default values from the Configuration section.
  6. Install the helm chart 
    
helm install application-mobility -n application-mobility dell/csm-application-mobility
