Description Elad 2019-10-03 18:20:22 UTC

Description of problem:

OCS4 needs the 'openshift-storage' namespace to exist prior to its deployment. 

Currently, this namespace needs to be created and labeled manually by the admin. 

This procedure is ugly and can lead to customer issues, for example, if this namespace is being created with a typo (like 'openshift_storage').

Comment 1 Elad 2019-10-03 18:21:47 UTC

Not sure if I picked the right component. Please change it if not.

Comment 2 Hemant Kumar 2019-10-04 15:00:44 UTC

This is a known issue. Currently OLM and entire operator installation mechanism does not offer a way of creating namespace during installation. The similar problem exists for local-storage-operator too where `local-storage` namespace should be created manually. 

If operator team can provide a mechanism of doing this, we can certainly use it. I am going to move this bug over to operator team because there is *nothing* storage team can do here.

This is not an SDK issue. Re-directing to OLM team, who may be able to provide guidance and/or a workaround.
