Hands-on Lab<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Limited Capacity<\/strong> seats available<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This interactive workshop offers participants a unique “choose-your-path” experience in working with OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) on IBM Power Systems. Participants can select from four distinct laboratory tracks based on their interests and technical priorities, with the flexibility to complete multiple tracks if time permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Workshop Overview<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The session begins with a brief introduction to OpenShift on IBM Power Systems and an overview of the available tracks. Participants will then have approximately 2.5 hours of hands-on lab time to pursue their chosen path(s), with continuous support from an instructor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will provide IBM Power, software and lab guide resources.
Please bring your laptop with admin rights to install the VPN to access Power resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where possible, I recommend installing and testing the VPN before the class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To install the VPN:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Download the VPN Client from https:\/\/asa003b.centers.ihost.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Install the VPN client: Once the download is complete, locate the file and run it. You might need to provide administrative permissions for the installation to proceed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Configure the VPN: After installation, launch the VPN client. You will need to enteryour VPN username and password, which I will provide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Connect to the VPN: Enter the VPN server address (in this case, asa003b.centers.ihost.com<\/strong>) into the client and initiate the connection. You may need to select “AnyConnect” as the group.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Troubleshoot: If you encounter ussies, such as a “Login Failed” message, ensure your credentials are correct.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
