-
provision OCPv4.11.43 in Fyre QuickBurn.
.
-
refer to step 3 and 4 described in https://github.com/e30532/RHDG/blob/main/README.md and setup NFS storage class.

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/foundational-services/4.2?topic=repository-installing-license-service-reporter-openshift-console.
-
install IBM licensing operator.
.
.
.
-
validate the IBM licensing instance.

Note: Access token can be retrieved with the command below.
oc get secret ibm-licensing-token -o jsonpath={.data.token} -n ibm-licensing | base64 -d
- install WebSphere Liberty on OCP to see if the licensing service retrieves the usage data.
6.1. add IBM operator catalog.
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/1.0?topic=clusters-adding-operator-catalog.
.
6.2. install WebSphere Liberty operator.
6.3. create WebSphere liberty instance with a sample image.
6.4. check licensing service instance page.
-
install IBM License Service Reporter operator.
.
Note: both are identical.
.
.
-
create IBM License Service Reporter instance.
.
accept license.
.
-
check reporter page.

The credential can be retrieved with the commands below.

% oc get secret ibm-license-service-reporter-credentials -o jsonpath={.data.username} -n ibm-licensing | base64 -d
% oc get secret ibm-license-service-reporter-credentials -o jsonpath={.data.password} -n ibm-licensing | base64 -d
As a last step, I needed to manually configure "sender" in IBM License Service instance.
After you see the message below in the license service instance pod log, you will see the data at the reporter side in a few hours.
