This not in the preparation Tasks are this specific SCC still needed ? How to create this ?

 

Environment

Release : 22.1

Resolution

For 22.1 fresh installation custom SCCs are not needed (dxi-custom, dxi-custom-postgres). For cluster-admin we need to assign "privileged" SCC (exists in OpenShift by default) to service account "default" (this step can be found in cluster-admin scenario). Custom SCCs were used to override OpenShift permissions and run pods as user 1010. Fresh install of 22.1 is supposed to use UID/GUID that are allowed in namespace and we don't need extra steps for this. In case of upgrade installation is supposed to continue using 1010 user  but all steps to create and assign SCCs should be already in the cluster from 21.3.1 install/upgrade.
