Issue/Introduction

• The system could not activate the MinIO OSE Region because it was unable to retrieve the required Storage Tenant ID.
  
  
  
  Note: Here, MinIO is deployed as Solution add-on and NOT as OSE VM. 

Environment

VCD 10.6.X
OSE 3.1

 

Cause

MinIO Operator version 4.3.7 is not compatible with OSE 3.1. It should be 5.X

Resolution

Below steps to executed to check MinIO Operator version:

• Logon to MinIO Server. 
• cd /minio/minio-operator and run the commands below: 
• kubectl get pod 0n minio-operator
• Above command shows MinIO Operator Pod name.
• Copy the complete name and run below command: 
  
  kubectl describe pod -n minio-operator minio-operator-<id>-<id> | grep -A5 image

xxxx@servername :~ /minio/minio-operator# kubectl describe po -n minio-operator minio-operator-<id>-<id> | grep -A5 Image
Image : XXXXX.XXXX.XXX/library/operator:v4.3.7

  XXX@mServername :~ /minio/minio-operator# helm list -A

• MinIO Operator version 4.3.7 is lower than compatible version of MiniO Operator which is 5.X. It should be 5.X as per below document.

• Issue resolves post deploying MinIO Operator of version 5.X
