#Install the Huawei DCS Provider

This document describes how to install the Infrastructure Provider for Huawei DCS and the Cluster Bootstrap Provider on the global cluster.

#When You Need This

Complete this page after the global cluster is installed and before you create the first workload cluster on Huawei DCS. It is required regardless of the IaaS platform that the global cluster itself runs on. In a disaster recovery (DR) pair, complete it on both global clusters, so that the standby can reconcile the same workload clusters after a failover. Upload the packages to each global cluster.

This is a separate task from the provider steps in Installing the global Cluster. Those steps upload provider packages to the temporary bootstrap cluster to create the global cluster itself.

#Prerequisites

Before installing the provider, ensure you have:

• Access to the global cluster
• Access to Customer Portal for downloading plugins

#Steps

# Check if the DCS provider pods are running
kubectl get pods -n cpaas-system | grep dcs

# Verify CRDs are registered
kubectl get crd | grep -E '^dcs.*\.infrastructure\.cluster\.x-k8s\.io$'

# Expected output should include:
# dcsclusters.infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io
# dcsmachines.infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io
# dcsmachinetemplates.infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io
# dcsiphostnamepools.infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io

#Next Steps

After installing the provider, you can proceed to:

• Prepare Infrastructure Resources
• Create a Cluster
