Adding my observations from the recent deployment on external mode(Ceph). Initially two storage system and two storage clusters got created. The phase of the storage cluster "ocs-external-storagecluster" was ignored. $ oc get storagesystem NAME STORAGE-SYSTEM-KIND STORAGE-SYSTEM-NAME ocs-external-storagecluster-storagesystem storagecluster.ocs.openshift.io/v1 ocs-external-storagecluster ocs-storagecluster-storagesystem storagecluster.ocs.openshift.io/v1 ocs-storagecluster $ oc get storagecluster NAME AGE PHASE EXTERNAL CREATED AT VERSION ocs-external-storagecluster 5m47s Ignored true 2021-09-16T11:35:23Z 4.9.0 ocs-storagecluster 5m47s Error 2021-09-16T11:35:23Z Deleted ocs-storagecluster and ocs-storagecluster-storagesystem.
