Backup & restore service from OpenShift Container Platform console

List of issues in the Backup & Restore managed and monitored from the OpenShift® Container Platform console.

fusion-console plugin issue

Problem statement
The OpenShift Container Platform console pod gets into panic state initially with a connection error.
Cause
This error occurs because the inter-namespace communication gets blocked between OpenShift Container Platform console pod (openshift-console namespace) and fusion-console pod (running in IBM Fusion operator install namespace).
Resolution
  1. Check whether any typo exists in the *.apps definition or there is a bad name resolution.
  2. If the error persists even after you fix the issue in step 1, restart the Fusion proxy pods.
  3. Verify that no NetworkPolicy/NetworkPolicies or networking plugin configurations exist that can prevent or interfere with inter-namespace communication.

Known issue

The Fusion Native Console plugin follows the n, n-1 & n-2 support matrix of OpenShift Container Platform, where "n" is an even OpenShift Container Platform version. For example, Fusion Console 2.10 on OpenShift Container Platform 4.18 release. In case of versions that are not supported, run the following command to disable the plugin:
oc patch -n ibm-spectrum-fusion-ns ISFConsolePlugin isf-console --type=merge -p '{"spec":{"enabled": 'false'}}'
Here, the ibm-spectrum-fusion-ns is the namespace where the IBM Fusion operator is installed.
