Lifecycle

The odf-operator is required to be present as long as the Fusion Data Foundation bundle remains installed. This is managed as part of OLM’s reconciliation of the Fusion Data Foundation CSV. At least one instance of the pod should be in Ready state.

The operator operands such as CRDs should not affect the lifecycle of the operator. The creation and deletion of StorageSystems is an operation outside the operator’s control and must be initiated by the administrator or automated with the appropriate application programming interface (API) calls.
