2. Deploy Portworx

If you are generating the DaemonSet spec via the GUI wizard, select OpenShift under the Customize page.

Generate the specs

To install Portworx with Kubernetes, you must first generate Kubernetes manifests that you will deploy in your cluster:

Navigate to PX-Central and log in, or create an account.
Click Continue with Portworx Enterprise option:
Choose an appropriate license for your requirement and click Continue:

NOTE: If you’re using a cloud provider, do not add volumes of different types when configuring storage devices for during spec generation. For example, do not add both GP2 and GP3 for AWS, standard and ssd for GCP, or Standard and Premium for Azure. This can cause performance issues and errors.

Portworx can also be installed using its Helm chart by following instructions here. The above method is recommended over helm as the wizard will guide you based on your environment.

Apply the generated specs to your cluster with the oc apply command:
```
  oc apply -f px-spec.yaml
```
Using the oc get pods command, monitor the Portworx deployment process. Wait until all Portworx pods show as ready:
```
  oc get pods -o wide -n kube-system -l name=portworx
```

Verify that Portworx has deployed by checking its status with the following command:

  PX_POD=$(oc get pods -l name=portworx -n kube-system -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')
  oc exec $PX_POD -n kube-system -- /opt/pwx/bin/pxctl status
