Using non-exist storage pool during openshift deploy

[chenpingxy1]

1.Describe in detail the issue you're having.

With PowerVS, I used command "ibmcloud pi img cr" command to copy the catalog image CentOS-stream-8 into my work space. After the local image was created the storage group value is empty (show as "ANY" in GUI). When I try to follow the https://github.com/ocp-power-automation/ocp4-upi-powervs playbook to deploy a cluster. I received a storage pool "Tier3-Flash-1" not found error. Looks like the catalog image's storage pool is "Tier3-Flush-1". But we don't have that storage pool. To work around , I have to change the terraform file ocp4-upi-powervs/modules/1_prepare/prepare.tf to hard code an existing storage pool.

2.What did you expect to happen? What happened instead? What would you like to see changed?

User should have a way to specify the storage pool name in the var.tfvars file

3.What browser are you working in?

Any

Steps to reproduce the issue

1.Step one

Setup a PowerVS env, without a storage pool named "Tier3-Flush-1"

2.Step two

Using ibmcloud pi img cr command to copy catalog image CentOS-stream-8 into your work space and make sure the storage pool is "ANY"

3.Step three

Follow the playbook https://github.com/ocp-power-automation/ocp4-upi-powervs to deploy a cluster. You will get the Tier3-Flush-1 storage pool not found error

Hey @chenpingxy1 . Thanks for reporting. This one should be a pretty simple add, so could you take a stab at a PR?

@chenpingxy1 thanks for reporting the issue.

This is due to the latest changes in storage pool names on PowerVS side. The storage pools ie. Tier3-Flash-1 is replaced with something like General-Flash-72 or Tier3-Flush-1 but the catalog images are still set to the older storage pools.

I agree with your comment there should be a way to allow users to overcome this:

User should have a way to specify the storage pool name in the var.tfvars file

I have also reported this to the PowerVS team and tagged @clnperez in the Slack thread.

@chenpingxy1 if you get a chance could you test the changes in the linked PR please?

@chenpingxy1 ?

@yussufsh I will try to test it. Where I can get the latest code with the change and do you have a sample to specify the storage pool in the vars file. Thanks
