Create Replicated TimesTen Classic Databases

This example shows you how to create and deploy a replicated TimesTenClassic object in your Kubernetes namespace. It shows you how to monitor the TimesTen Operator as it uses the information in the object's definition to create an active standby pair of replicated TimesTen Classic databases.

Create the YAML manifest file for the TimesTenClassic object.
```
vi repsample.yaml

apiVersion: timesten.oracle.com/v4
kind: TimesTenClassic
metadata:
  name: repsample
spec:
  ttspec:
    storageClassName: oci-bv
    storageSize: 10Gi
    image: container-registry.oracle.com/timesten/timesten:22.1.1.34.0
    imagePullSecret: sekret
    dbConfigMap:
    - repsample
```
Note the following:
- The storageClassName is oci-bv. Replace oci-bv with the name of your storage class.
- The storageSize is 10Gi. Replace 10Gi with the amount of storage that needs to be requested for each Pod to hold TimesTen.
- The image is container-registry.oracle.com/timesten/timesten:22.1.1.34.0. Replace image with the name and location of your TimesTen container image.
- The imagePullSecret is sekret. Replace sekret with the image pull secret that Kubernetes needs to use to fetch the TimesTen container image.
- The dbConfigMap specifies the repsample ConfigMap created in About the Examples.

Deploy the TimesTenClassic object into your namespace.

kubectl create -f repsample.yaml

The output is the following:

timestenclassic.timesten.oracle.com/repsample created

Monitor deployment.
1. Check status of object.
```
kubectl get ttc repsample
```
  The output is similar to the following:
```
NAME          STATE              ACTIVE   AGE
repsample     Initializing       None     9s
```
  The provisioning starts, but is not completed as indicated by the Initializing state.
2. Wait a few minutes. Then, check status again.
```
kubectl get ttc repsample
```
  The output is similar to the following:
```
NAME        STATE    ACTIVE        AGE
repsample   Normal   repsample-0   2m27s
```
  The provisioning process completes. The active and standby databases are up and running and operational. The TimesTen Operator transitions the repsample object to the Normal state.

(Optional): Review the state transitions.

kubectl get events

The output is similar to the following:

During the provisioning process, the TimesTenClassic object transitions from the Initializing to the Normal state.

Verify the existence of the underlying objects.

Connect to the active database.

From your development host, establish a shell in the Pod.
```
kubectl exec -it repsample-0 -c tt -- /bin/bash
```

Connect to the active database. Insert a row in a table.
