This bug having no release flag set previously, is now set with release flag 'odf‑4.14.0' to '?', and so is being proposed to be fixed at the ODF 4.14.0 release. Note that the 3 Acks (pm_ack, devel_ack, qa_ack), if any previously set while release flag was missing, have now been reset since the Acks are to be set against a release flag.

Since this bug has severity set to 'urgent', it is being proposed as a blocker for the currently set release flag. Please resolve ASAP.

Just spoke with Mudit. I want to clarify a couple details.

Currently, Rook expects the Ceph container image to have `ip`. It doesn't matter if the Rook image has `ip` or not. Rook runs `ip` to detect network address ranges (CIDRs) for multus networks in a short-lived Ceph pod.

I will look into what it would take to instead have Rook use its own image (instead of the Ceph image) for the short-lived detection job. That would allow the RHCS image to continue to omit the `ip` tool and would then only require that the Rook image have `ip`. Since we are so close to release, I'm not sure if that change is practically possible, however.

@muagarwa I did some investigation and can provide a 4-line, minimal change to ODF to change the image used for detection to the Rook image.

I already have a backport PR ready if you want to merge this, but please let me and Travis know. We will need to also merge it upstream, which we don't currently plan to do unless we also merge downstream. 

If this change is taken, the `ip` utility will need to be installed into the ODF Rook image, and it will no longer be necessary to have it in the Ceph image.

Hey Blaine, thanks for a quick PR. My suggestion is to take this in at least as a temporary solution while Ceph includes the ip package in 6.1z3
6.1z3 is supposed to be released by the end of Nov, if we do this change in ODF now then we can unblock the release of 4.14.0

We can always revert the fix once Ceph has this package but it seems harmless to me to include this in rook at this point of time.
