VMware Shared contains private catalogs, shared catalogs, and externally accessible catalogs. Private catalogs include vApp templates and media files that you can share with other users in the organization. If a system administrator enables catalog-sharing for your organization, you can share an organization catalog to create a catalog accessible to other organizations in the VMware Shared installation.

If a system administrator enables external catalog publishing for your organization, you can publish an organization catalog for access by organizations outside the VMware Shared installation. An organization outside the VMware Shared installation must subscribe to an externally published catalog to access its contents.



 VMware Shared public catalog 

Each organization has access to the VMware Shared public catalog. The catalog contains IBM-compliant images that are configured, secured, and ready for use.

Review the following considerations for VMware Shared:



* Operating system licensing costs apply for usage. For more information about how commercial operating system license rentals are billed, see [VMware Shared pricing](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vmwaresolutions?topic=vmwaresolutions-shared_pricing).
* Public templates that are configured to services on the IBM private network require an extra configuration step to enable VM access to the IBM Services network. For more information, see [Enabling VM access to IBM Cloud Services by using the private network](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vmwaresolutions?topic=vmwaresolutions-shared_vcd-ops-guideshared_vcd-ops-guide-enable-access).
* Public templates require a minimum level of customization to establish the initial administrator password. For more information, see [Changing the guest OS customization properties of a VM](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vmwaresolutions?topic=vmwaresolutions-shared_vcd-ops-guideshared_vcd-ops-guide-customization).



The public catalog contains vApp templates for the following components:

Why is my Portieris cluster image security enforcement installation canceled? 

Virtual Private Cloud

Classic infrastructure

 What’s happening 

Portieris image security enforcement add-on does not install. You see a master status similar to the following:

Image security enforcement update cancelled. CAE008: can't enable Portieris image security enforcement because the cluster already has a conflicting image admission controller installed. For more information, see the troubleshooting docs: 'https://ibm.biz/portieris_enable'

 Why it’s happening 

Your cluster has a conflicting image admission controller already installed, which prevents the image security enforcement cluster add-on from installing.

When you have more than one image admission controller in your cluster, pods might not run.

Potential conflicting image admission controller sources include:



* The deprecated container image security enforcement Helm chart.
* A previous manual installation of the open source [Portieris](https://github.com/IBM/portieris) project.



 How to fix it 

Identify and remove the conflicting image admission controller.



1. Check for existing image admission controllers.



* Check if you have an existing container image security enforcement deployment in your cluster. If no output is returned, you don't have the deployment.

kubectl get deploy cise-ibmcloud-image-enforcement -n ibm-system

Example output

NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
cise-ibmcloud-image-enforcement 3/3 3 3 129m
* Check if you have an existing Portieris deployment in your cluster. If no output is returned, you don't have the deployment.

kubectl get deployment --all-namespaces -l app=portieries

Example output

NAMESPACE NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
portieris portieris 3/3 3 3 8m8s



2. Uninstall the conflicting deployment.

kubectl delete deployment <deployment> -n <namespace>

You will require root or administrative privileges to perform this installation.



 Ubuntu/PowerPC Installation 



1. Install the Secure Gateway client. For example, if you are using a Debian package, issue the following command.

sudo dpkg -i <secure-gateway-debian-package>
2. When the client installer starts, you are prompted for the following information.

Auto-start process Yes/No If this is an upgrade or reinstall, you must choose whether you want the existing client to be stopped while the installation process is running. Choose Y/y to stop the existing client. Otherwise, the client package is upgraded without restarting the client, which means that you can wait for an appropriate Software Update window to perform a restart. If you choose N/n, the installation continues and you must restart the client manually.

Gateway ID Set the gateway ID for the client. The gateway ID is defined when you create a Secure Gateway service. If the client fails to connect, you can change your selection by editing the .conf file.

Security token If the gateway ID is enabled to check for a security token, you must provide it now. If the gateway ID does not require a security token, leave this blank.

Logging level The default setting is INFO. Other valid values are TRACE, DEBUG, and ERROR.
VPC infrastructure contains a number of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offerings, including virtual servers for VPC. Use the following information to understand a simple use case for planning, creating, and configuring resources for your VPC, and learn about more VPC overviews and VPC tutorials. For more information about VPC, see [Getting started with Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vpc?topic=vpc-getting-started).





 SAP on IBM Cloud® 

SAP NetWeaver is the core foundation of the SAP technology stacks and is the platform that is used for ABAP and Java applications. SAP system can be installed and configured in IBM Cloud for various system and database types.

For more information about SAP system architectures on IBM Cloud VPC, see the infrastructure reference architectures for SAP for each supported database type. For example, [SAP NetWeaver 7.x on UNIX with Db2 on IBM Cloud® VPC](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/sap?topic=sap-sap-refarch-nw-db2) is the dedicated reference architecture for this SAP solution.

Manually deploying a VPC and installing an SAP system can be time-consuming. The Terraform automation assures not only a much quicker implementation, but also a standardized and less prone to error deployment. Terraform and Ansible are used for automating the deployment processes.

The Terraform scripts solution provides the automated deployment of a single host with SAP NetWeaver with Db2 3-tier on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux® and SUSE for SAP Applications (releases specified in [README file](https://github.com/IBM-Cloud/sap-netweaver-abap-db2-distributed/blob/main/README.md).

The SAP installation media that are used for this deployment are the default media for SAP NetWeaver 7.5 with Db2 (releases specified in [README file](https://github.com/IBM-Cloud/sap-netweaver-abap-db2-distributed/blob/main/README.md) available at the SAP Support Portal in the Installation and Upgrade area.
For servers with more than 16 cores per CPU, an increase in the license charge occurs.
* All other services have static service license charges that do not change based on the number of servers in the instance.







 Why is there a discrepancy in the supported number of VMs for VMware Aria Operations licenses? 

You might see a discrepancy in the supported number of VMs between what is displayed on the VMware Aria Operations Manager console and the per CPU metering in IBM Cloud. This issue happens if you did not select the Product evaluation (no key required) option when you first accessed the VMware Aria Operations Manager console after service installation. For more information, see [Accessing the VMware Aria Operations Manager console](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vmwaresolutions?topic=vmwaresolutions-managing_vropsmanaging_vrops-access-vrops-console).

This discrepancy is a result of VMware Aria Operations keys that are created for IBM Cloud subscription licensing per virtual machine (VM) capacity. However, in IBM Cloud, the VMware Aria Operations licenses are measured and billed per CPU, and not per VM.

The discrepancy does not indicate any service or licensing problem for VMware Aria Operations and VMware Aria Operations™ for Logs. The service is fully licensed for all VMs on each vCenter Server host and continues to work properly.

 23 February 2023 (Version 4.6.3) 

Version 4.6.3 is now available
: Text to Speech for IBM Cloud Pak for Data version 4.6.3 is now available. This version supports IBM Cloud Pak for Data version 4.6.x and Red Hat OpenShift version 4.10. Red Hat OpenShift version 4.8 is no longer supported. For more information, see [Watson Speech services on IBM Cloud Pak for Data](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-data/4.6.x?topic=services-watson-speech).

Known issue: You cannot change the installed models and voices with the advanced installation options
: Known issue: You currently cannot specify different models or voices with the advanced installation options. The service always installs the default models and voices. For information about changing the models after installation, see Updating models and voices for your Watson Speech services in the Administration topic of [Watson Speech services on IBM Cloud Pak for Data](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-data/4.6.x?topic=services-watson-speech).

Known issue: Upgrade to version 4.6.3 can fail to complete
: Known issue: When upgrading to version 4.6.3, the MinIO backup job can fail to be deleted upon completion. If this happens, the solution is to delete the job, after which the upgrade proceeds normally. Perform the following steps to resolve the problem.



1. To determine whether the MinIO backup job remains undeleted, issue the following command:
The new name for DI is Additional Application Server (AAS).

Structure:

DI/AAS = GW + ICM + Disp

For more information about configuring and adding a AAS instance in heterogeneous SAP environment, see [SAP Note - 680617 INST: Appl. Server in Heterogeneous SAP System Environment](https://launchpad.support.sap.com//notes/680617).

The benefit of an AAS and DI is to balance the load from the PAS instance by distributing a significant percent of the workload, to an additional DI and AAS server. With help of SAP load balancer mechanism, the AAS and DI provide good performance. Having an AAS and additional DI increases the processing power as well, using the resources of its new server capacity for all system business workload.

For more information, see [SAP Note 26317 - Set up for LOGON group for autom load balancing](https://launchpad.support.sap.com//notes/26317).









 Multiple-host SAP HANA system 

A multiple-host system is a system with more than one host, which can be configured as active worker hosts or idle standby hosts. The server software is based on a flexible architecture that enables a distributed installation in which loads are balanced between different hosts. The server software has to be installed in a shared file system. This file system has to be mounted by all hosts that are part of the system.

This diagram shows a multiple-host system configuration:
