Comment 2 Jian Zhang 2020-12-14 04:05:36 UTC
Cluster version is 4.6.0-0.nightly-2020-12-14-015205
[root@preserve-olm-env data]# oc -n openshift-operator-lifecycle-manager exec catalog-operator-6bc7d9ff89-rnszx -- olm --version
OLM version: 0.16.1
git commit: fe32277830b3dc086e014c0e3391de671e5f49f4

1, subscribe to an operator for the cluster scope. Such as, etcd.
[root@preserve-olm-env data]# oc get sub -A
NAMESPACE             NAME   PACKAGE   SOURCE                CHANNEL
openshift-operators   etcd   etcd      community-operators   clusterwide-alpha
[root@preserve-olm-env data]# oc get csv -n openshift-operators
NAME                              DISPLAY   VERSION             REPLACES                          PHASE
etcdoperator.v0.9.4-clusterwide   etcd      0.9.4-clusterwide   etcdoperator.v0.9.2-clusterwide   Succeeded

2, Create many namespaces.
3, check the lastUpdateTime of the copied csv if is the same as the origin csv.
[root@preserve-olm-env data]# oc get csv -n openshift-operators etcdoperator.v0.9.4-clusterwide  -o yaml|grep lastUpdateTime
  lastUpdateTime: "2020-12-14T03:56:22Z"

[root@preserve-olm-env data]# oc get csv -n default -o yaml|grep lastUpdateTime
    lastUpdateTime: "2020-12-14T03:56:22Z"

4, Check the csv in one namespace, no incrementing.
[root@preserve-olm-env data]# oc get csv -o yaml|grep lastUpdateTime
    lastUpdateTime: "2020-12-14T03:56:22Z"
[root@preserve-olm-env data]# oc get csv -o yaml|grep lastUpdateTime
    lastUpdateTime: "2020-12-14T03:56:22Z"
[root@preserve-olm-env data]# oc get csv -o yaml|grep lastUpdateTime
    lastUpdateTime: "2020-12-14T03:56:22Z"

LGTM, verify it.
