Yes Is there any workaround available to the best of your knowledge? Yes. Delete the "ocs-operator-config" ConfigMap. Rate from 1 - 5 the complexity of the scenario you performed that caused this bug (1 - very simple, 5 - very complex)? 1 Can this issue reproducible? Yes Can this issue reproduce from the UI? Yes If this is a regression, please provide more details to justify this: It is a regression, since it didn't happen in previous upgrades. But, it's a corner case and a very minor issue which was never tested. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install ODF operator v4.12.z. Do not create StorageCluster. 2. Upgrade to ODF operator v4.13.z. 3. Check the operator pod status. Actual results: rook-ceph-operator pod is in "CreateContainerConfigError" blocking the upgrade. Expected results: Upgrade should complete without issue. Additional info:
