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

When installing a new instance of IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) Operations Dashboard, several prerequisites must be met. The correct answers are B and D based on IBM Cloud Pak for Integration v2021.2 requirements.

B. A pull secret from IBM Entitled Registry must exist in the namespace containing an entitlement key.

The IBM Entitled Registry hosts the necessary container images required for CP4I components, including Operations Dashboard.

Before installation, you must create a pull secret in the namespace where CP4I is installed. This secret must include your IBM entitlement key to authenticate and pull images.

Command to create the pull secret:

Correct Answers:oc create secret docker-registry ibm-entitlement-key \

--docker-server=cp.icr.io \

--docker-username=cp \

--docker-password= \

--namespace=

D. The vm.max_map_count sysctl setting on worker nodes must be higher than the operating system default.

The Operations Dashboard relies on Elasticsearch, which requires an increased vm.max_map_count setting for better performance and stability.

The default Linux setting (65530) is too low. It needs to be at least 262144 to avoid indexing failures.

To update this setting permanently, run the following command on worker nodes:

sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144

IBM Reference: Elasticsearch System Requirements

A. For shared data, a storage class that provides ReadWriteOnce (RWO) access mode of at least 100 MB is required. (Incorrect)

While persistent storage is required, the Operations Dashboard primarily uses Elasticsearch, which typically requires ReadWriteOnce (RWO) or ReadWriteMany (RWX) block storage. However, the 100 MB storage requirement is incorrect, as Elasticsearch generally requires gigabytes of storage, not just 100 MB.

IBM Recommendation: Typically, Elasticsearch requires at least 10 GB of persistent storage for logs and indexing.

C. If the OpenShift Container Platform Ingress Controller pod runs on the host network, the default namespace must be labeled with network.openshift.io/controller-group: ingress to allow traffic to the Operations Dashboard. (Incorrect)

While OpenShift’s Ingress Controller must be configured correctly, this specific label requirement applies to some specific OpenShift configurations but is not a mandatory prerequisite for Operations Dashboard installation.

Instead, route-based access and appropriate network policies are required to allow ingress traffic.

E. For storing tracing data, a block storage class that provides ReadWriteMany (RWX) access mode and 10 IOPS of at least 10 GB is required. (Incorrect)

Tracing data storage does require persistent storage, but block storage does not support RWX mode in most environments.

Instead, file-based storage with RWX access mode (e.g., NFS) is typically used for OpenShift deployments needing shared storage.

During the installation of IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I), an initial admin password is automatically generated and securely stored in a Kubernetes secret called platform-auth-idp-credentials.

This secret is located in the ibm-common-services namespace, which is a central namespace used by IBM Cloud Pak Foundational Services to manage authentication, identity providers, and security.

The stored credentials are required for initial login to the IBM Cloud Pak platform and can be retrieved using OpenShift CLI (oc).

Retrieving the Initial Admin Password:To view the stored credentials, administrators can run the following command:

sh

Copy

oc get secret platform-auth-idp-credentials -n ibm-common-services -o jsonpath='{.data.admin_password}' | base64 --decode

This will decode and display the initial admin password.

A. platform-auth-idp-credentials in the IAM service installation folder (Incorrect)

The IAM (Identity and Access Management) service does store authentication-related configurations, but the admin password is specifically stored in a Kubernetes secret, not in a local file.

C. platform-auth-idp-credentials in the /sbin folder (Incorrect)

The /sbin folder is a system directory on Linux-based OSes, and IBM Cloud Pak for Integration does not store authentication credentials there.

D. platform-auth-idp-credentials in the master-node root folder (Incorrect)

IBM Cloud Pak stores authentication credentials securely within Kubernetes secrets, not directly in the root folder of the master node.

In IBM App Connect, which is part of IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I), callable flows enable integration between different environments, including on-premises systems and cloud-based integration solutions deployed in an OpenShift cluster.

To facilitate this connectivity, two critical resources are used:

The Connectivity Agent acts as a bridge between cloud-hosted App Connect instances and on-premises integration servers.

It enables secure bidirectional communication by allowing callable flows to connect between cloud-based and on-premise integration servers.

This is essential for hybrid cloud integrations, where some components remain on-premises for security or compliance reasons.

The Routing Agent directs incoming callable flow requests to the appropriate App Connect integration server based on configured routing rules.

It ensures low-latency and efficient message routing between cloud and on-premise systems, making it a key component for hybrid integrations.

1. Connectivity Agent (✅ Correct Answer)2. Routing Agent (✅ Correct Answer)

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect?Option

Explanation

Correct?

A. Sync server

❌ Incorrect – There is no "Sync Server" component in IBM App Connect. Synchronization happens through callable flows, but not via a "Sync Server".

❌

C. Kafka sync

❌ Incorrect – Kafka is used for event-driven messaging, but it is not required for callable flows between cloud and on-premises environments.

❌

D. Switch server

❌ Incorrect – No such component called "Switch Server" exists in App Connect.

❌

Final Answer:✅ B. Connectivity agent✅ E. Routing agent
