PowerStore CSM documentation issue

From the documentation at https://dell.github.io/csm-docs/docs/getting-started/installation/openshift/powerstore/csmoperator/

 

In the setup of the CSM for the PowerStore there is a syntax error in the example that causes the deployment to fail with “Failed Prechecks: unsupported driver type”

This block is wrong, not only is the spacing out causing the failure but it is missing the previously defined secret.

cat << EOF > csm-powerstore.yaml

apiVersion: storage.dell.com/v1

kind: ContainerStorageModule

metadata:

  name: powerstore

  namespace: powerstore

spec:

driver:

   csiDriverType: "powerstore"

   configVersion: v2.15.0

   forceRemoveDriver: true

EOF

The correct example should be as follows.

cat << EOF > csm-powerstore.yaml

apiVersion: storage.dell.com/v1

kind: ContainerStorageModule

metadata:

  name: powerstore

  namespace: powerstore

spec:

  driver:

    csiDriverType: "powerstore"

    configVersion: v2.15.0

    forceRemoveDriver: true
    authSecret: powerstore-config

EOF

Please could you correct your documentation here (I'm not going to raise a support case for this and the dell.csm.operator@dell.com email address bounces). 


I will also say that IMO the example of the config secret should arguably use a blockProtocol type of “auto” rather than FC.
