C1000-130 Exam Dumps : IBM Cloud Pak for Integration V2021.2 Administration

When installing IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) on an OpenShift cluster that lacks internet access, an air-gapped installation is required. This process involves mirroring container images from an IBM container registry to a portable registry that can be accessed by the disconnected OpenShift cluster.

To authenticate and mirror images, the administrator must:

Use the cloudctl case command to configure credentials, including the IBM entitlement key, before initiating the mirroring process.

Authenticate with the IBM Container Registry using the entitlement key.

Mirror the required images from IBM’s registry to a local registry that the disconnected OpenShift cluster can access.

B. export ENTITLEMENTKEY and cloudPakOfflineInstaller -mirror-images

The command cloudPakOfflineInstaller -mirror-images is not a valid IBM Cloud Pak installation step.

IBM requires the use of cloudctl case commands for air-gapped installations.

C. Adding the entitlement key to .airgap/registries

There is no documented requirement to store the entitlement key in SHOME/.airgap/registries.

IBM Cloud Pak for Integration does not use this file for authentication.

D. Adding the ibm-entitlement-key as a Docker secret

While secrets are used in OpenShift for image pulling, they are not directly involved in mirroring images for air-gapped installations.

The entitlement key is required at the mirroring step, not when deploying the images.

In IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) v2021.2, workloads requiring authentication with Identity and Access Management (IAM) need an OAuth secret for secure access. One way to obtain this secret and register a workload is through the OperandConfig API file.

OperandConfig API is used in Cloud Pak for Integration to configure operands (software components).

It provides a mechanism to retrieve secrets, including the OAuth secret necessary for authentication with IBM IAM.

The OAuth secret is stored in a Kubernetes secret, and OperandConfig API helps configure and retrieve it dynamically for a registered workload.

Why Option D is Correct:

A. Extracting the ibm-entitlement-key secret. → Incorrect

The ibm-entitlement-key is used for entitlement verification when pulling IBM container images from IBM Container Registry.

It is not related to OAuth authentication or IAM registration.

B. Through the Red Hat Marketplace. → Incorrect

The Red Hat Marketplace is for purchasing and deploying OpenShift-based applications but does not provide OAuth secrets for IAM authentication in Cloud Pak for Integration.

C. Using a Custom Resource Definition (CRD) file. → Incorrect

CRDs define Kubernetes API extensions, but they do not directly handle OAuth secret retrieval for IAM registration.

The OperandConfig API is specifically designed for managing operand configurations, including authentication details.

IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) v2021.2 Administration References:

In IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) v2021.2, profiles define the resource allocation and configuration settings for deployed services. When creating a second medium-size profile, the system will allocate the resources according to the medium-size specifications, without affecting the first profile.

IBM Cloud Pak for Integration supports multiple profiles, each with its own resource allocation.

When a second medium-size profile is created, it is independently assigned the medium-size configuration without modifying the existing profiles.

This allows multiple services to run with similar resource constraints but remain separately managed.

Why Option B is Correct:

A. The first profile will be replaced by the second profile. → ❌ Incorrect

Creating a new profile does not replace an existing profile; each profile is independent.

C. The first profile will be re-configured with a medium size. → ❌ Incorrect

The first profile remains unchanged. A second profile does not modify or reconfigure an existing one.

D. The second profile will be configured with a large size. → ❌ Incorrect

The second profile will retain the specified medium size and will not be automatically upgraded to a large size.
