Symptoms
The system does not correctly verify the status of Container Storage Modules when an incorrect module image is installed with a driver. Status gets set to "Succeeded," but the module is not deployed.
kubectl get csm -A NAMESPACE NAME CREATIONTIME CSIDRIVERTYPE CONFIGVERSION STATE vxflexos vxflexos 3m14s Powerflex v2.9.0 Failed Showing correct CSM status after code changes: NAMESPACE NAME CREATIONTIME CSIDRIVERTYPE CONFIGVERSION STATE vxflexos vxflexos 3m14s Powerflex v2.9.0 Succeeded
Cause
The Operator status code does not check for module success, the results of the status check are only based on the status of the driver.
The linked line checks only for application mobility, but does not work when it is deployed along with the driver, or for any other modules https://github.com/dell/csm-operator/blob/e135454e5df50402c4080ed94e5303228b869167/pkg/utils/status.go#L350

Resolution
Engineering has resolved this issue in Container Storage Modules 1.9.1 and Container Storage Modules Operator 1.4.1. The Operator code is updated to check for Application Mobility and Observability.
