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 2.8 on IBM Fusion 4.16, 4.15 and 4.14 releases. 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.
