Prepare MKE 3.x for MSR Installation

Important

This procedure applies only to Kubernetes environments running MKE 3.x. If you are using MKE 4.x, no additional preparation is required before installing MSR.

To install MSR on MKE you must first configure both the default:postgres-operator user account and the default:postgres-pod service account in MKE 3.x with the privileged permission.

To prepare MKE 3.x for MSR install:

1. Log in to the MKE web UI.

2. In the left-side navigation panel, click the <username> drop-down to display the available options.

3. Click Admin Settings > Privileges.

4. Navigate to the User account privileges section.

5. Enter <namespace-name>:postgres-operator into the User accounts field.

   Note

   You can replace <namespace-name> with default to indicate the use of the default namespace.

6. Select the privileged check box.

7. Scroll down to the Service account privileges section.

8. Enter <namespace-name>:postgres-pod into the Service accounts field.

   Note

   You can replace <namespace-name> with default to indicate the use of the default namespace.

9. Select the privileged checkbox.

10. Click Save.

Important

For already deployed MSR instances, issue a rolling restart of the postgres-operator deployment:

kubectl rollout restart deploy/postgres-operator
