DRpolicy_creation_ss

Description of problem (please be detailed as possible and provide log
snippests):
Metro Disaster Recovery policy creation fails unless the ocs-operator pod is restarted on the managed clusters. All the clusters (hub and managed) have the same ODF version v4.13.0-110.stable

Version of all relevant components (if applicable):
openshift-install: 4.13.0-rc.0
ODF: v4.13.0-110.stable
odr-hub-operator: v4.13.0-110.stable
odf-multicluster-orchestrator: v4.13.0-110.stable
ACM: 2.7.2

Does this issue impact your ability to continue to work with the product
(please explain in detail what is the user impact)?


Is there any workaround available to the best of your knowledge?
Restart the ocs-operator pod on managed clusters

Rate from 1 - 5 the complexity of the scenario you performed that caused this
bug (1 - very simple, 5 - very complex)?


Can this issue reproducible?
Yes, reproduced every time (5 times)

Can this issue reproduce from the UI?
Yes

If this is a regression, please provide more details to justify this:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create Metro DR setup with hub cluster and 2 managed clusters
2. Install ODF on managed clusters and connect to external storage
3. Install ODF Multicluster Operator on Hub cluster
4. Configure SSL access across clusters
5. Create Disaster recovery policy on hub cluster


Actual results:
Creation of DR policy reports unsupported version of ODF on the managed clusters, although the ODF version is supported and same on all the 3 clusters.
Disaster recovery policy creation fails unless the ocs-operator pod is restarted on the Managed clusters. 

Attaching the screenshot of the DR policy creation failure.

Expected results:
Disaster recovery policy creation should be possible without restarting the ocs-operator pod on Managed clusters.

Comment 3 umanga 2023-04-05 05:36:44 UTC
Looking at the log, this does not look like a DR issue.
It's a bug somewhere in ocs-operator. We should try to recreate it without DR to isolate the issue.

Logs shows StorageCluster has this namespace/name: `"Request.Namespace":"openshift-storage","Request.Name":"ocs-external-storagecluster"`
But, ocs-operator is looking for `"msg":"No StorageCluster resource.","Request.Namespace":"openshift-storage","Request.Name":"ocsinit"`

Moving it to ocs-operator for RCA.

Comment 4 umanga 2023-04-10 10:58:23 UTC
This might have occurred because of another bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2185188.
Once that is fixed, we need to check if this issue still exists.

Comment 5 umanga 2023-04-18 11:06:17 UTC
Please verify the issue with "4.13.0-166" build.

Comment 6 Mudit Agarwal 2023-04-24 08:42:42 UTC
Sravika, please reopen if this still exists.

Comment 7 Sravika 2023-04-25 09:41:07 UTC
@uchapaga @muagarwa : Currently I don't have 4.13 environment, will verify the BZ once I move to 4.13 verification later

Comment 8 umanga 2023-04-26 08:44:31 UTC
Reopening the issue as we were able to reproduce it on latest builds.

Comment 9 umanga 2023-04-26 08:46:13 UTC
We need to fix this in 4.13 as it blocks DR workflows on clusters with existing ODF deployments.

After applying the below CatalogSource I am able to install the MCO operator from the operator hub on the IBM Z platform.

Comment 15 Sravika 2023-05-23 10:22:38 UTC
With the latest ODF build 4.13.0-203.stable, MDR policy creation is successful without restarting the ocs-operator pods on the managed clusters
