Bug 1866301

OCP 4.6 should allow up to direct the user towards the Storage Cluster Creation. To be taken as a feature work in 4.7.

The label needs to be added from the CSV to make this available from the UI to work the feature is already part of 4.6 from console UI.

Ankush, is this already fixed?

This needs to be fixed from OCS-operator. 
https://github.com/openshift/ocs-operator/issues/756

The UI part is already fixed.

https://github.com/openshift/ocs-operator/issues/756 is targeted for 4.7

Fixed by https://github.com/openshift/ocs-operator/pull/907.

The PR above makes use of a new feature in the OCP Console that slightly changes the workflow to show a prompt to create a StorageCluster and a button that allows them to do so directly. I believe this improves the workflow in the same way this BZ was hoping to do.

QE will test that during OCS operation installation process, create StorageCluster button is shown so that one can continue with creating storage cluster directly.

Verified the fix in UI and also checked the ocs-operator.v4.7.0-237.ci.yaml for the newly added annotations (https://github.com/openshift/ocs-operator/pull/907/files)

OCS = ocs-operator.v4.7.0-237.ci

OCP = 4.7.0-0.nightly-2021-01-19-095812

Steps Performed:
=====================
1. Created the internal build for 4.7.0-231.ci in Operator hub (using deploy-wih-olm.yaml)
2. Selected the OCS operator from OperatorHub and Clicked on Install 
3. On "Install Operator" page, selected the default options and clicked on Install
4. Window [1] came up and once the operator is installed and all 4 operator pods are in Running state, the option for Create Storagecluster becomes active.


Added screencast of the flow.
