Step 15. Create a Pod that Runs on Informatica Gateway Node

Ensure that the Informatica domain is running.

Edit the

GatewayInput.properties

file and add the pod IP of the infamaster pod.

To locate the IP address of the infamaster pod, enter the following command:

kubectl get pods -o wide

The IP address gets assigned when the container is created.

You can see the IP in the following sample output:


NAME 							READY 	STATUS 	RESTARTS 	AGE 	IP 												NODE 																								NOMINATED NODE
infamaster		1/1				Running 0									77m 	172.xx.xx.xxx		ip-172-xx-x-xxx.ec2.internal	<none>

Copy the IP and update the DOMAIN_HOST_IP field in the GatewayInput.properties file.

To create a configuration map for the gateway node, enter the following command:

kubectl create configmap infa-gateway-config --from-env-file=GatewayInput.properties

To create an Informatica gateway node from the workspace directory, enter the following command:

kubectl create -f joingateway.yaml

file.

After verifying that the pod is in a running state, monitor the installation process.

You can monitor the installation by logging into the pod and by checking the installation log present in the installation location:

/home/Informatica/Server/

The installation log has the following convention:

<Informatica_<version>_Services_<TIMESTAMP>.log

After the installation completes successfully, the installation status shows as "SUCCESS."

After joining the node, you can log into the Administrator tool to verify the same.

To know more information about the services created, you can monitor the infa_setup.log. You can run an interactive bash shell on the running pod with the kubectl exec command and then check the infa_setup.log under the / directory.

You can enter the kubectl exec command in the following format:

kubectl exec -it <pod_name> -- /bin/bash
