For {product-title} clusters installed on restricted networks, also known as
9-
disconnected clusters, Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) by default cannot access
10-
the Red Hat-provided OperatorHub sources hosted on Quay.io because they require
11-
full Internet connectivity. However, cluster administrators can disable those

For {product-title} clusters that are installed on restricted networks, also known as disconnected clusters, Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) by default cannot access the Red Hat-provided OperatorHub sources hosted remotely on Quay.io because those remote sources require full Internet connectivity.

However, as a cluster administrator you can still enable your cluster to use OLM in a restricted network if you have a workstation that has full Internet access. The workstation is used to prepare local mirrors of the remote OperatorHub sources, and requires full Internet access to pull the remote content.

This guide describes the following process that is required to enable OLM in restricted networks:
13+
14+
* Disable the default remote OperatorHub sources for OLM.
15+
* Use a workstation with full Internet access to create local mirrors of the OperatorHub content.
16+
* Configure OLM to install and manage Operators from the local sources instead of the default remote sources.
17+
18+
After enabling OLM in a restricted network, you can continue to use your unrestricted workstation to keep your local OperatorHub sources updated as newer versions of Operators are released.
