External Registry Update Flag

This parameter controls whether the system should populate or update the external registry with required OpenShift images. When enabled, it mirrors necessary images from Red Hat's registries to your external registry.

Requirements

• openshift/external-registry must be set
• Registry must be accessible
• Sufficient storage space for images
• Internet access for initial mirroring
• Valid Red Hat pull secret

Usage

Enable registry population:

# Default: false (no update/population)

# When enabled (true):
- Installs oc-mirror tool
- Configures authentication
- Mirrors required images:
  * OpenShift release images
  * Core platform images
  * UBI base images
  * Operator images

Notes: - Uses oc-mirror tool for image syncing - Can take significant time and bandwidth - Required for initial registry setup - Can be used for registry updates - Maintains image digests and signatures
