IBM Operator Catalog Enablement - Unable to pull ibm-common-service-catalog after mirrorConfig: true

[se35710]

Enabling ImageContentSourcePolicy as done in

redhat-helm-charts/stable/ibm-operator-catalog-enablement/templates/ibm_cpopen_image_content_source_policy.yaml

Lines 9 to 11 in c4bbeea

	- mirrors:
	- icr.io/cpopen
	source: docker.io/ibmcom

redirect all requests for docker.io/ibmcom registry content to icr.io. Many images are that are on docker.io/ibmcom are not availbale on icr.io. And the change in ImageContentSourcePolicy forces a full drain and restart of the cluster.

Unfortunately, ibm-common-service-catalog is not available on icr.io, but on quay.io/opencloudio. So after the drain and restart of the cluster, pulling ibm-common-service-catalog will fail.

To enable the IBM catalog if pulls to docker.io is forbidden by policy, one can apply the following instead of installing the Helm chart.

ibm-operator-catalog.yaml:

apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: CatalogSource
metadata:
  name: ibm-operator-catalog
  namespace: openshift-marketplace
spec:
  displayName: ibm-operator-catalog 
  publisher: IBM Content
  sourceType: grpc
  image: icr.io/cpopen/ibm-operator-catalog
  updateStrategy:
    registryPoll:
      interval: 45m

ibm-common-service-catalog.yaml:

apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: CatalogSource
metadata:
  name: opencloud-operators
  namespace: openshift-marketplace
spec:
  displayName: IBMCS Operators
  publisher: IBM
  sourceType: grpc
  image: quay.io/opencloudio/ibm-common-service-catalog
  updateStrategy:
    registryPoll:
      interval: 45m

No ImageContentSourcePolicy needed.
