Cloud Automation Manager - offline install via helm CLI

Question

I recently hitted an issue where I could not use the ICP GUI to install Cloud Automation Manager, but yet I really needed to select the "optimize for offline" option since it was an air-gapped environment. I reviewed the knowledge center but I did not find the way to use this option via helm CLI. Is there a way to do this? Thanks,

Hi you can add the following set to your Cloud Automation Manager helm install command (2.1.0.3 FP1 or newer release)

--set global.offline=true

for example

helm install ibm-cam-3.1.0.tgz --name cam --namespace services --set global.iam.deployApiKey=[Api key for service-deploy] --set global.audit=<true | false> --set global.offline=true --tls

We will also add this to our installation parameters page shortly as well here:

Thanks for your question!
