PDFs
You can switch to the Red Hat OpenShift certified Trident operator from the community operator, a Helm-based installation, or a manually deployed operator. The process for each method involves uninstalling the existing operator and then installing the certified operator using the OperatorHub.
Before you begin the installation, prepare your environment for Trident installation.
|
Do not delete the TridentOrchestrator custom resource (CR) during the uninstall process. The TridentOrchestrator CR preserves your backend and storage class configuration, which is required after you install the certified operator.
