Hotfix for IBM Storage Fusion and IBM Storage Fusion HCI 2.8.0, 2.8.1 and 2.8.2

General Page

With every reconciliation, the IBM Storage operator removes the custom labels you added to the IBM Storage Fusion namespace.
Apply this hotfix only when you have to add any custom labels to your Fusion namespace.
Do the following steps to resolve the issue related to the overwriting of namespace labels.
Note: If you are applying this hotfix in a disconnected environment, mirror the hotfix image to the same registry and path of your IBM Storage Fusion images (2.8.0 or 2.8.1 or 2.8.2). Except for the image digests, the steps are common for IBM Storage Fusion HCI and IBM Fusion Software. Hence, use the correct image digests based on the version and variant.

Required image digests:

 

For 2.8.0:

  • IBM Storage Fusion HCI - cp.icr.io/cp/isf/isf-prereq-operator@sha256:e8fd803d062eaf4e18968fd9d517b51e9ca85c9958af5556de2c9e022bbf7fe6
  • IBM Storage Fusion - cp.icr.io/cp/isf-sds/isf-prereq-operator@sha256:73d7d0b905e609eba3b0d97b12b23d5d2b00e351c0f8ec0c73a5d665c94b80a6
For 2.8.1:
 
  • IBM Storage Fusion HCI - cp.icr.io/cp/isf/isf-prereq-operator@sha256:ef559540d4d376441e2ff64ea3a1c460f0e7f0a6e3791ccc60526f257c77a126

For 2.8.2:
 
  • IBM Storage Fusion HCI - cp.icr.io/cp/isf/isf-prereq-operator@sha256:b8c7069e5c890bb015d5bb1e7c5578fece911b4e04509e91b4a0816b1a979f08

IBM Storage Fusion HCI:

  1. Run the following command to edit the CSV file.

    oc edit csv isf-operator.v2.8.0 -n ibm-spectrum-fusion-ns

  2. Search for the isf-prereq-operator spec section to get the image digest details in the CSV.

    spec 
  containers:
     - args:
          - --health-probe-bind-address=:8081
          - --metrics-bind-address=127.0.0.1:8080
          - --leader-elect
          command:
          - /manager
          env:
          - name: FUSION_NAMESPACE
            valueFrom:
              fieldRef:
                 fieldPath: metadata.namespace
          image: cp.icr.io/cp/isf-sds/isf-prereq-operator@sha256:05b169dcf76ad9a7b34eb85abf441c0836318cec14072a86a5f4a00e01803a86
          imagePullPolicy: Always

  3. Replace image digest with correct value. See Image digest.

  4. Save the changes and close the file. It recreates the isf-prereq-operator pod in the IBM Storage Fusion namespace.

  5. After the isf-prereq-operator pod is created, apply custom label to the IBM Storage Fusion namespace.

IBM Storage Fusion:

  1. Run the following command to edit the CSV file and replace the namespace with your Fusion namespace.

    oc edit csv isf-operator.v2.8.0 -n ibm-spectrum-fusion-ns

  2. Search for the isf-prereq-operator spec section to get image digest details in the CSV.

    spec:
   containers:
   - args:
       - --health-probe-bind-address=:8081
       - --metrics-bind-address=127.0.0.1:8080
       - --leader-elect
       command:
       - /manager
       env:
       - name: FUSION_NAMESPACE
         valueFrom:
            fieldRef:
              fieldPath: metadata.namespace
        image: cp.icr.io/cp/isf-sds/isf-prereq-operator@sha256:05b169dcf76ad9a7b34eb85abf441c0836318cec14072a86a5f4a00e01803a86
        imagePullPolicy: Always
  3. Replace image digest with the correct value. See Image digest. It recreates the isf-prereq-operator pod in the IBM Storage Fusion namespace.
  4. After the isf-prereq-operator pod is created, apply the custom label to the IBM Storage Fusion namespace.

    Important: If you upgrade to 2.8.1 or 2.8.2 after applying this hotfix on IBM Storage version 2.8.0, the image of the operator gets replaced  automatically. Hence, reapply this hotfix on IBM Storage version 2.8.1 or 2.8.2 to apply a custom label to the Fusion namespace again. When you reapply this hotfix on 2.8.1 or 2.8.2, make sure to use the corresponding 2.8.1 or 2.8.2 CSV name (steps 1 and 2) and image digests (step 3).
