Setting up the required resources

Use uipathctl prereq create to set up the databases, storage buckets, and other resources required for Automation Suite on OpenShift.

The uipathctl prereq create command generates the infrastructure and dependencies that Automation Suite requires, based on your input.json. If a resource already exists, the command leaves it unchanged, so you can run it safely more than once. Depending on your configuration, the command generates:

• The SQL databases required for the installation on the SQL server, if the sql.create_db key is set to true in your input.json file. This key auto-creates the databases.
• The object storage buckets required for the installation, if the external_object_storage.create_bucket key is set to true in your input.json file. This key auto-creates the buckets.
• Additional required components, such as the External Secrets Operator, when the corresponding features are enabled (see the note below).

To generate them, run the following command:

uipathctl prereq create input.json --versions versions.json

For details on the flags that you can use with the uipathctl prereq create command, refer to uipathctl prereq create.

Note:

If you choose to enable a secretstore with Azure Key Vault, the External Secrets Operator and its corresponding Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) will be deployed in the cluster as part of the prereq create command.

Important:

The uipathctl prereq create command does not create the required SQL databases for Process Mining. You must manually create them by following the instructions in Bring your own database.
