Description Federico Paolinelli 2021-11-09 10:44:36 UTC 
Description of problem:

Following the instructions for installing from CLI doesn't deploy the operator.
https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.9/networking/metallb/metallb-operator-install.html

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
oc get clusterversion
NAME      VERSION                             AVAILABLE   PROGRESSING   SINCE   STATUS
version   4.9.0-0.nightly-2021-11-08-212454   True        False         18m     Cluster version is 4.9.0-0.nightly-2021-11-08-212454


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Follow the instructions


Actual results:

➜  ~ oc get packagemanifests -n openshift-marketplace metallb-operator
NAME               CATALOG             AGE
metallb-operator   Red Hat Operators   31m
➜  ~ cat << EOF | oc apply -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: metallb-system
EOF
namespace/metallb-system created
➜  ~ cat << EOF | oc apply -f -
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1
kind: OperatorGroup
metadata:
  name: metallb-operator
  namespace: metallb-system
spec:
  targetNamespaces:
  - metallb-system
EOF
operatorgroup.operators.coreos.com/metallb-operator created
➜  ~ oc get operatorgroup -n metallb-system
NAME               AGE
metallb-operator   7s
➜  ~ oc get installplan -n metallb-system
No resources found in metallb-system namespace.

Expected results:

A valid install plan

Additional info:
Comment 1 Arti Sood 2021-11-09 14:45:56 UTC 
Doc fixes needed.

1. Subscription manifest should be:-


cat << EOF| oc apply -f -
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: Subscription
metadata:
  name: metallb-operator-sub
  namespace: metallb-system
spec:
  channel: "${OC_VERSION}"
  name: metallb-operator
  source: redhat-operators----> CORRECT SOURCE
  sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace
EOF



2. Output of "oc get packagemanifests -n openshift-marketplace metallb-operator" 
This will show catalog source is Red Hat Operators instead of community operator.
3. "oc get installplan -n metallb-system" should be after subscription has been created. 
Swap step #5 and #6
4. Custom Resource Definition to create metallb should be:-

cat << EOF | oc apply -f -
apiVersion: metallb.io/v1beta1 ---> CORRECT VERSION
kind: MetalLB
metadata:
  name: metallb
  namespace: metallb-system
EOF
