Description Sonal 2022-09-09 15:27:22 UTC

Describe the issue:

Below note in upgrade doc of 4.11 is a bit confusing. The first 2 lines gives an impression that there are 2 issues. It should simply indicate there is a ceph RGW issue which is impacting ODF upgrade in Internal and ceph cluster upgrade in ODF external mode.

"The existing users of OpenShift Data Foundation 4.10 cannot upgrade to OpenShift Data Foundation 4.11 due to object storage data accessibility issues which are planned to be fixed in a 4.11.z release. Also, note that the Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster used for external mode is blocked from upgrading. For more information, see the Red Hat Knowledgebase article Support Restrictions for upgrades for RADOS Gateway (RGW) on Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.2.""

Describe the task you were trying to accomplish:

To understand the upgrade issue in ODF 4.11

Suggestions for improvement:

During upgrade qualification of Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.2 from 5.1 an issue was encountered in RGW. Because of this issue:

a. The existing users of OpenShift Data Foundation 4.10 cannot upgrade to OpenShift Data Foundation 4.11 due to object storage data accessibility issues which are planned to be fixed in a 4.11.z release.
b. The Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster used for external mode is blocked from upgrading. For more information, see the Red Hat Knowledgebase article Support Restrictions for upgrades for RADOS Gateway (RGW) on Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.2.
