Deploy Sterling File Gateway

This recipe is for deploying the B2BI Sterling File Gateway in a single namespace (i.e. b2bi-prod):

SFG single NS

Infrastructure - Kustomization.yaml

  1. Edit the Infrastructure layer ${GITOPS_PROFILE}/1-infra/kustomization.yaml, un-comment the following lines, commit and push the changes and synchronize the infra Application in the ArgoCD console.

    cd multi-tenancy-gitops/0-bootstrap/single-cluster/1-infra
    - argocd/consolenotification.yaml
- argocd/namespace-b2bi-prod.yaml
- argocd/namespace-sealed-secrets.yaml
- argocd/serviceaccounts-b2bi-prod.yaml
- argocd/sfg-b2bi-clusterwide.yaml
- argocd/daemonset-sync-global-pullsecret.yaml

Services - Kustomization.yaml

  1. This recipe is can be implemented using a combination of storage classes. Not all combination will work, the following table lists the storage classes that we have tested to work:

    Component Access Mode IBM Cloud OCS/ODF
    DB2 RWO ibmc-block-gold ocs-storagecluster-cephfs
    MQ RWO ibmc-block-gold ocs-storagecluster-cephfs
    SFG RWX managed-nfs-storage ocs-storagecluster-cephfs

  2. Edit the Services layer ${GITOPS_PROFILE}/2-services/kustomization.yaml and install Sealed Secrets by uncommenting the following line, commit and push the changes and refresh the services Application in the ArgoCD console.

    - argocd/instances/sealed-secrets.yaml

    💡 NOTE
    Commit and Push the changes for multi-tenancy-gitops & sync ArgoCD.

  3. Clone the services repo for GitOps, open a terminal window and clone the multi-tenancy-gitops-services repository under your Git Organization.

    git clone [email protected]:${GIT_ORG}/multi-tenancy-gitops-services.git

  4. Modify the B2BI pre-requisites components which includes the secrets and PVCs required for the B2BI helm chart.

    1. Go to the ibm-sfg-b2bi-prod-setup directory:

      cd multi-tenancy-gitops-services/instances/ibm-sfg-b2bi-prod-setup

    2. Generate a Sealed Secret for the credentials.

      B2B_DB_SECRET=db2inst1 \
JMS_PASSWORD=password JMS_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=password JMS_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD=password \
B2B_SYSTEM_PASSPHRASE_SECRET=password \
./sfg-b2bi-secrets.sh

    3. Generate Persistent Volume Yamls required by Sterling File Gateway (the default is set in RWX_STORAGECLASS environment variable to managed-nfs-storage - if you are installing on ODF, set RWX_STORAGECLASS=ocs-storagecluster-cephfs)

      ./sfg-b2bi-pvc-mods.sh

    💡 NOTE
    Commit and Push the changes for multi-tenancy-gitops-services

  5. Enable DB2, MQ and prerequisites in the main multi-tenancy-gitops repository

    1. Edit the Services layer ${GITOPS_PROFILE}/2-services/kustomization.yaml by uncommenting the following lines to install the pre-requisites for Sterling File Gateway.

      - argocd/instances/ibm-sfg-db2-prod.yaml
- argocd/instances/ibm-sfg-mq-prod.yaml
- argocd/instances/ibm-sfg-b2bi-prod-setup.yaml

    2. Optional Modify the DB2 and MQ storage classes to the environment that you use, the files are in ${GITOPS_PROFILE}/2-services/argocd/instances. Edit ibm-sfg-db2-prod.yaml and ibm-sfg-mq-prod.yaml to switch the storageClassName if necessary.

    💡 NOTE
    Commit and Push the changes for multi-tenancy-gitops and sync the ArgoCD application services.

    Make sure that the sterling toolkit pod does not throw any error. Wait for 5 minutes until the database is fully initialized.

  6. Generate Helm Chart values.yaml for the Sterling File Gateway Helm Chart in the multi-tenancy-gitops-services repo; note that the default storage class is using managed-nfs-storage - if you are installing on ODF, set RWX_STORAGECLASS=ocs-storagecluster-cephfs.

    cd multi-tenancy-gitops-services/instances/ibm-sfg-b2bi-prod
./ibm-sfg-b2bi-overrides-values.sh

    💡 NOTE
    Commit and Push the changes for multi-tenancy-gitops-services

  7. Edit the Services layer ${GITOPS_PROFILE}/2-services/kustomization.yaml by uncommenting the following line to install Sterling File Gateway, commit and push the changes and refresh the services Application in the ArgoCD console:

    - argocd/instances/ibm-sfg-b2bi-prod.yaml

    💡 NOTE
    Commit and Push the changes for multi-tenancy-gitops and sync ArgoCD application services this will take around 1.5 hr for the database setup.

⚠️ Warning:
If you decided to scale the pods or upgrade the verison you should do the following steps:

This is to avoid going through the database setup job again

  • Step 1: 
    cd multi-tenancy-gitops-services/instances/ibm-sfg-b2bi-prod
  • Step 2:
    • Inside values.yaml, find & set bash . . . datasetup: enabled: false . . . dbCreateSchema: false . . .
  • Commit and push the changes for the multi-tenancy-gitops-services repo.

Validation

  1. Retrieve the Sterling File Gateway console URL.

    oc get route -n b2bi-prod ibm-sfg-b2bi-prod-sfg-asi-internal-route-dashboard -o template --template='https://{{.spec.host}}'

  2. Log in with the default credentials: username:fg_sysadmin password: password

Additional instance of Sterling File Gateway

The current setup has an additional set of customized instance of Sterling File Gateway B2BI in b2bi-nonprod namespace. Follow the similar proceure above to run the updates for the b2bi-nonprod namespace.
