     S3R07AAE	Performance License SW 3yr E-RTU	hub.myenterpriselicense.hpe.com/hpe-mlis/s3r07aae
     S3W26AAE	Base License SW 4yr E-RTU	hub.myenterpriselicense.hpe.com/hpe-mlis/s3w26aae
     S3W27AAE	Performance License SW 4yr E-RTU	hub.myenterpriselicense.hpe.com/hpe-mlis/s3w27aae
     S3W28AAE	Base License SW 5yr E-RTU	hub.myenterpriselicense.hpe.com/hpe-mlis/s3w28aae
     S3W29AAE	Performance License SW 5yr E-RTU	hub.myenterpriselicense.hpe.com/hpe-mlis/s3w29aae

   • HPE MSC Username: Your HPE MSC username.
   • HPE MSC MLIS License Key: Your HPE MSC MLIS license key.
   • HPE MSC User Email: Your HPE MSC user email.

3. Create a secret for HPE MSC Docker Registry credentials using the information gathered in the previous step:

   kubectl create secret docker-registry hpe-mlis-registry \
      --docker-server=hub.myenterpriselicense.hpe.com/hpe-mlis/<SKU> \
      --docker-username=<HPE_MSC_USERNAME>  \
      --docker-password=<HPE_MSC_MLIS_LICENSE_KEY> \
      --docker-email=<HPE_MSC_USER_EMAIL> \
      -n <MLIS_DEPLOYMENT_K8s_NAMESPACE_OPTIONAL>

   Copy
   Tip

   You must set up the secret for all namespaces which you may reference in a deployment. You can control the list of namespaces available for deployment using the Helm chart namespaces.exclude list. To create the secret for multiple namespaces at once, you can use a loop in a shell script:

   for NAMESPACE in namespace1 namespace2 namespace3; do
     kubectl create secret docker-registry hpe-mlis-registry \
       --docker-server=hub.myenterpriselicense.hpe.com/hpe-mlis/<SKU> \
       --docker-username=<HPE_MSC_USERNAME> \
       --docker-password=<HPE_MSC_MLIS_LICENSE_KEY> \
       --docker-email=<HPE_MSC_USER_EMAIL> \
       -n $NAMESPACE
   done

   Copy

   Replace namespace1, namespace2, namespace3 with your target namespaces.

4. Add the following to your helm install command:

   --set 'global.imagePullSecrets[0].name=hpe-mlis-registry' \ 
   --set imageRegistry=hub.myenterpriselicense.hpe.com/hpe-mlis/<SKU>

   Copy
