Could not install NodeFeatureDiscovery on OKD4.5 and 4.6 Cluster by operatorHub.

[rupang790]

On my OKD Cluster, I found the NFD operator on operatorHub, so I tried to install it from operatorHub.
But It was not installed.
(Before I found it on operatorHub, I used to install it manually, which I cloned from git and use make command to deploy.)

Installation proceeded in two ways ( Install on All Namespaces-default / specific Namespace ), but the following error occurred:

How can I solve this? Do anyone have same error with?

[lgc0313]

same error on ocp 4.6.19

[ArangoGutierrez]

Hi @lgc0313 I am going to fix this today, looks like the community operator on OperatorHub is outdated

[lgc0313]

@ArangoGutierrez Thanks.Waiting for repair online

[ArangoGutierrez]

operator-framework/community-operators#3402 is merged, give it a day to roll out, all fixes should be in place now

[lgc0313]

@ArangoGutierrez There is still the same issue now.

[ArangoGutierrez]

Hi @rupang790 @lgc0313 is this still an issue?
if so, would you let me know the versions of your cluster, and version of the operatorhub?

[rupang790]

Hi, @ArangoGutierrez
on my OKD Cluster (4.6.0-0.okd-2021-02-14-205305) It is installed well through operatorHub.
I used NFD version 4.7 and It works for me. For @lgc0313, I will not close this issue.

However, if I would like to install Special-Resource-operator, should I delete NFD-operator for it?
(Because It saw Special-Resource-Operator install NFD itself again.)

Thank you for fix the issue.

[ArangoGutierrez]

for SRO let's ask @dagrayvid

[dagrayvid]

Hi @rupang790, we shouldn't need to uninstall NFD before installing SRO. I think the reason that it would have been installing NFD again is because SRO's dependency on NFD was out-of-date and looking for an NFD version older than 4.7, hence it was installing 4.5 or 4.6 in addition to the already installed NFD 4.7. This was updated last Friday in communityoperators so it should now work with NFD 4.7 already installed.

Let me know if you have any questions or are still running into this issue!

[rupang790]

@dagrayvid, I tried to install SRO on my cluster but it seems not installing status.
I used OperatorHub to install and check NFD version as 4.7.

I can see that it created service only (no deployments or daemonset about operators)

Do there have any logs about installation of operators?
One more thing is, Is SRO could be installed when GPU device existed on Node?

If I should create new Issue about this on SRO GitHub, please tell me.
Thank you for comment.

[dagrayvid]

Hi @rupang790 I haven't seen this error before, so I will have to investigate. Please open an issue on the upstream SRO GitHub to track this.

Is this on OKD? Having GPU devices on the node should not cause any problems.
