:context: installing-ibm-power-vs-customizations

toc::[]

In {product-title} version {product-version}, you can install a customized cluster on infrastructure that the installation program provisions on {ibm-power-server-title}. To customize the installation, you modify parameters in the `install-config.yaml` file before you install the cluster.

== Prerequisites

* You reviewed details about the xref:../../architecture/architecture-installation.adoc#architecture-installation[{product-title} installation and update] processes.
* You read the documentation on xref:../../installing/overview/installing-preparing.adoc#installing-preparing[selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users].
* You xref:../../installing/installing_ibm_powervs/installing-ibm-cloud-account-power-vs.adoc#installing-ibm-cloud-account-power-vs[configured an {ibm-cloud-name} account] to host the cluster.
* If you use a firewall, you xref:../../installing/install_config/configuring-firewall.adoc#configuring-firewall-module_configuring-firewall[configured it to allow the sites] that your cluster requires access to.
* You configured the `ccoctl` utility before you installed the cluster. For more information, see xref:../../installing/installing_ibm_powervs/preparing-to-install-on-ibm-power-vs.adoc#cco-ccoctl-configuring_preparing-to-install-on-ibm-power-vs[Configuring the Cloud Credential Operator utility].
