If an install fails before the workers deploy, the CNO misreports its status eg, in the summarized results of https://prow.ci.openshift.org/view/gs/origin-ci-test/logs/periodic-ci-openshift-release-master-nightly-4.9-e2e-metal-ipi-ovn-ipv6/1430971467952033792: : operator conditions network Operator progressing (Deploying): DaemonSet "openshift-multus/network-metrics-daemon" is not available (awaiting 1 nodes) DaemonSet "openshift-network-diagnostics/network-check-target" is not available (awaiting 1 nodes) It shouldn't say "not available" here because the problem is that those pods are waiting for the worker nodes to exist. It should say: Operator progressing (Deploying): DaemonSet "openshift-multus/network-metrics-daemon" is waiting for other operators to become ready DaemonSet "openshift-network-diagnostics/network-check-target" is waiting for other operators to become ready
