1. Looks like the operator cannot connect the the defined repository warehouse (the default, https://ses.sas.download). Presumably this is because this is being blocked by your firewall. If you're trying to use a custom repository warehouse I don't think the viya4-deployment project has a function to customize this.

2. Sounds like an issue with your Kubernetes installation:

Thank you @gwootton for your response.

Ingress issue has been fixed.

And for the defined repository, i see that the deployment past the error we had after our it team was able to open the firewall to https://ses.sas.download for limited time.

We have proxy server but setting the environment variable does not seems to be working. we tried updated the deployment yaml files with env variables but that did not help. Any advise on how/ where the proxy settings can be set to make this works?

Thanks,

Raghu

Here is the documentation on adding forward proxy settings to the operator:

Hi @gwootton

Sorry for jumping late into this discussion...

I need to deploy SAS Viya onprem on OCP with no Internet access at all (dark site). It is my understanding that I need to download some files to create a "local" or "onprem" repository warehouse. Correct me if I am wrong please. I think I found the files I need to setup here: https://github.com/sassoftware/viya4-warehouse/blob/main/getWarehouse.sh so a total of 6 files.

1. Is this correct?

2. Is this repository warehouse documented anywhere?

3. Can I place the files on an HTTP Server that is accessible from the pods inside OCP?

4. Again, any doc on how to do this?

1. You are correct, the deployment operator pulls information from a remote location to get details on the deployment.
2. The documentation only covers the options (e.g. --repository-warehouse-location) and how to build the warehouse (mirrormgr doc for a air-gapped site) and not how to deploy an HTTP server to serve up this information.
3. Yes
4. No, we do not currently document how to set up a web server to serve up those files.
