The remove process fails at step "Check if the node had bare pod" with error description "The bare pods openshift-marketplace/redhat-operator-index-wltgx cannot be automatically migrated during drain node, please handle them manually."
Ursache
The node remove process will first perform some prechecks before the actual removal starts. The precheck includes a validation whether there are bare pods living in the cluster. If those bare pods exist, user need to handle them manually.
For a cluster in restricted networks or without internet connection, if user configured OperatorHub following SolVe procedure "APEX Cloud Platform for Red Hat OpenShift - Configure OperatorHub procedure" section 3 "Configuring CatalogSource and ImageContentSourcePolicy for OperatorHub on disconnected cluster", it brings the pod "redhat-operator-index-wltgx" into cluster, and it will cause node removal precheck failure.

Lösung
1. To migrate the pod to other nodes forcibly, user need to drain the node manually.
Note: please appropriately handle the customer-owned workloads/data on this node before performing the following commands.
2. Retry node remove.
