How to check which service version you are using

You can check the installer version in the configmap by running the following command:

oc -n kube-public get ConfigMap ibmcloud-cluster-info -o jsonpath=’{.data.version}’

   3.6.0

You can check the Common service operator full version and deployed namespace by running the following command:

oc get csv --all-namespaces | grep common-service-

common-service        IBM Cloud Platform Common Services     3.6.3                   ibm-common-service-operator.v3.5.6             Succeeded
ibm-common-services  IBM Cloud Platform Common Services     3.6.3                   ibm-common-service-operator.v3.5.6             Succeeded

If there is no ibmcloud-cluster-info configmap in your cluster, it means that the service was installed by installer version 1.1.0 and the service is version 3.5.0 or newer. You can check the Installed Operators tab in the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform console to find the accurate version.
