Kubernetes-NMState Operator version 4.18 is incorrectly installed on OpenShift 4.17 or older clusters

Solution Verified - Updated

Issue

The 4.18 operator was mistakenly pushed to clusters running 4.12 to 4.17. This is not a supported configuration and the operator will not receive any updates (including security) while installed on an incorrect cluster version.

Resolution

Back up existing NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicies, uninstall the operator, reinstall the operator, and restore the NNCPs.

  1. Run the following command to back up existing policies:

    oc get nncp -A -o yaml > cluster-nncp.yaml

  2. Uninstall the operator as described in the product documentation.

  3. Reinstall the operator as described in the product documentation.

  4. Restore the NNCPs:

    oc apply -f cluster-nncp.yaml
