Comment 3 W. Trevor King 2021-03-24 15:43:09 UTC
Adding an impact statement, following the template in [1]:

Who is impacted?
  vSphere clusters with 100 or more nodes, which can have the vSphere problem detector stick with Degraded=True if it is interrupted.  The detector is interrupted on updates, and can also be interrupted outside of updates (e.g. as a MachineConfig is rolled out, or a descheduler evicts pods, etc.)

What is the impact?
  VSphereProblemDetectorControllerDegraded, which will stick any in-process OCP updates.  No other in-cluster effects.

How involved is remediation?
  oc edit storage cluster and set the operator Unmanaged.  This has no downsides on vSphere, where all storage maintenance is in-tree, and the operator has nothing it manages directly.

Is this a regression?
  Yes, the problem detector is new in 4.7, so the issue does not affect 4.6.  All existing 4.7.z releases are vulnerable.
