Problem

Multi-tier tenant onboarding has a race condition that permanently abandons retry for unresolved storage tiers (OSAC-4855).

Two bugs combine:

  1. Premature StorageBackendReady — handleBackendReadiness called hubSecretExists with an empty provider string, matching ANY provider's hub Secret. For multi-tier tenants (e.g. local/lvms + block/vast), the fast-completing provider's Secret caused StorageBackendReady=True before slower providers finished.
  2. Abandoned retry for partially-resolved tiers — handleClusterStorageProvisioning (the retry path) was only called when len(scResult.resolved) == 0. Once one tier resolved, the reconciler set ClusterStorageReady=True and never retried the missing tier.

Result: Any multi-tier tenant reports Ready=True but is silently missing storage tiers, with no automation attempting recovery.

Fix

Bug 1: check ALL providers, not just any

Added allBackendHubSecretsExist() which extracts unique providers from tierDefinitions and verifies a hub Secret exists for each one. Falls back to the any-secret check when no tier definitions are available (backward compatibility).

Bug 2: retry when any tier is still missing

After resolving StorageClasses, the code checks for missing tiers using missingTierNames(). When missing tiers exist:

  • Sets ClusterStorageReady=False with NotFound reason (hub storage not fully ready)
  • Sets hasMissingTiers=true flag (deferred retry pattern — no early return)
  • Stage 4 retry dispatches a simple RequeueAfter to re-check on the next cycle

Key design decisions:

  • ClusterStorageReady=True only when ALL tiers resolve — CaaS provisioning waits for full hub readiness
  • Failed provision jobs stay terminal (simple RequeueAfter) — no new non-terminal jobs are created, preventing the poll gate at line 471 from blocking handleCaaSUpdate
  • handleCaaSDelete runs before all hub checks — deletion is never blocked by hub readiness state

PollJob reorder

Moved the non-terminal provision-job poll (PollJob) from before handleCaaSUpdate to after it. CaaS cluster lifecycle (finalizer addition/removal, storage provisioning on Ready clusters) is never blocked by a running hub storage provisioning job.

AAP playbook labels

Added osac.openshift.io/storage-provider label to hub Secrets created by both LVMS and VAST playbooks. This completes the label contract that hubSecretExists was designed for — the operator can now filter per-provider within a tenant.

Deletion resilience

Added a guard in handleCaaSDelete for nil backend connections during CaaS teardown. When resolveAndInjectTierContext returns nil connections, the deprovisioning job is skipped and execution falls through to finalizer removal — matching the existing guard patterns for missing kubeconfig and missing provider.

New handleUpdate flow

handleCaaSDelete    → storage finalizer cleanup (always runs first)
Stage 1: backend    → credential check (allBackendHubSecretsExist)
Stage 2: resolve SC → check tiers, set hasMissingTiers flag
Stage 3: handleCaaSUpdate → storage lifecycle for CaaS clusters
PollJob             → monitor running hub storage jobs (moved after Stage 3)
Stage 4: retry      → RequeueAfter for missing tiers (runs last)

Testing

  • 6 new unit tests covering multi-provider hub secret readiness (partial, full, backward-compat fallback) and multi-tier retry (partial resolution triggers retry, full resolution succeeds, backward-compat no-retry)
  • All 989 controller + 131 provisioning specs pass
  • All 3 E2E suites pass (BMaaS, CaaS, VMaaS)

@redhat-chai-bot: This pull request references OSAC-4855 which is a valid jira issue.

Details

In response to this:

Summary

Fixes a regression introduced in PR #856 where the missing-tier retry logic (Bug 2 fix) did an early return r.handleClusterStorageProvisioning(...) that skipped Stage 3 (handleCaaSUpdate). This prevented CaaS ClusterOrder finalizer processing whenever missing tiers were detected, causing ClusterOrders to get stuck in Deleting phase.

This PR preserves both fixes from #856 (Bug 1: allProviderHubSecretsExist, Bug 2: missing-tier retry) while eliminating the regression.

What Changed

Replaced the early return with a deferred flag pattern:

  1. Added var needsMissingTierRetry bool before the if/else block
  2. Replaced return r.handleClusterStorageProvisioning(...) with a flag set: needsMissingTierRetry = len(missing) > 0 && len(tierDefinitions) > 0
  3. Added deferred retry after Stage 3: if needsMissingTierRetry { return r.handleClusterStorageProvisioning(...) } runs after handleCaaSUpdate completes

New handleUpdate flow

  • handleCaaSDelete (handles deleting ClusterOrders) → runs first
  • Stage 1: backend readiness → may return early
  • Stage 2: resolve StorageClasses → sets needsMissingTierRetry flag, NO early return
  • Poll non-terminal job → may return early
  • Stage 3: handleCaaSUpdate → always runs (the fix)
  • Deferred missing-tier retry → runs last

Testing

All 982 Ginkgo specs pass, including all 6 multi-tier retry tests and CaaS deletion tests.

Walkthrough

The controller now checks hub Secret readiness for tier providers, tracks unresolved StorageClasses, and adjusts provisioning retries. During CaaS teardown, it skips deprovisioning when backend connections are unavailable and proceeds toward finalizer removal.

Changes

Storage lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider-aware readiness
osac-operator/internal/controller/storage_controller.go, osac-operator/internal/controller/storage_controller_test.go, osac-aap/collections/ansible_collections/osac/templates/roles/lvms_storage/tasks/setup.yaml, osac-aap/collections/ansible_collections/osac/templates/roles/vast_storage/tasks/setup.yaml
The controller checks for a hub Secret for each tier provider. When no providers are available, it checks for any hub Secret. The templates label their Secrets with provider names. Tests cover partial, complete, and fallback readiness.
Unresolved-tier provisioning and retries
osac-operator/internal/controller/storage_controller.go, osac-operator/internal/controller/storage_controller_test.go
When defined tiers remain unresolved, the controller marks cluster storage not ready and defers provisioning until after Stage 3 and class-job polling. A failed job requeues at the poll interval when the hub Secret exists. Tests cover tier resolution and retry behavior.
CaaS teardown without backend connections
osac-operator/internal/controller/storage_controller.go
When backend connections are unavailable during CaaS teardown, the controller skips the deprovisioning job, emits a warning event, and proceeds toward finalizer removal.

This change improves multi-tier storage readiness. However, CaaS cluster storage can be left behind when connection data is missing during deletion. Separately, a failed provisioning job can leave a missing storage tier unresolved indefinitely. Resolve or explicitly accept these cases before merging.

Pre-merge checks failed. Please resolve the failing checks before merging.

The operator's allBackendHubSecretsExist function filters Secrets by
both osac.openshift.io/tenant and osac.openshift.io/storage-provider
labels, but the AAP playbooks only set the tenant label. This causes
hubSecretReady to always be false for tenants with tier definitions,
blocking handleCaaSUpdate and preventing finalizer removal.

Add the osac.openshift.io/storage-provider label to the Secret
definitions in both the LVMS and VAST setup playbooks so the
operator's label selector can find them.

Pre-merge checks failed. Please resolve the failing checks before merging.

When resolveAndInjectTierContext fails (fulfillment service down, tier
resolution error, or clients not configured), the provisioning context
carries nil backend connections. The AAP deprovisioning job receives no
credentials and fails, but BlockDeletionOnFailure prevents the finalizer
from being removed, leaving the ClusterOrder stuck in Deleting.

Add a resilience path in handleCaaSDelete: when backend connections are
nil/empty, log a warning and skip the deprovisioning job, falling
through to finalizer removal. This follows the same pattern as the
existing kubeconfig==nil and ClusterStorageProvider==nil guards.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fix two regressions in the multi-tier storage retry logic:

1. handleClusterStorageProvisioning: restore main's behavior where a
   failed job + hubSecretReady results in a simple RequeueAfter instead
   of falling through to RunProvisioningLifecycle. The previous code
   created new non-terminal provision jobs that blocked the poll gate,
   permanently preventing handleCaaSUpdate from running.

2. ClusterStorageReady condition: only set True when all defined tiers
   have resolved StorageClasses (hasMissingTiers=false) or when no
   tierDefinitions exist (backward compat). Previously, any resolved
   tier set the condition True even with missing tiers. This is safe
   because handleCaaSDelete runs before ClusterStorageReady is checked,
   so finalizer removal on deleting ClusterOrders is never blocked.

Make the failed-job requeue capable of recovery.

If a cluster-storage job fails while a tier is missing and the hub Secret is ready, every reconcile returns here. The controller never dispatches another job, even if the AAP failure is fixed; the missing tier remains unresolved unless an external actor clears the job or creates its StorageClass.

Prevent CaaS provisioning while defined tiers are missing.

When hasMissingTiers is true, this condition becomes false, but handleCaaSUpdate does not read it. A Ready ClusterOrder with a kubeconfig can still enter RunProvisioningLifecycle before the VMaaS tier set is complete. Add an explicit Stage 3 guard if incomplete tiers must block CaaS provisioning.

This is already addressed by the ClusterStorageReady gate. When hasMissingTiers is true, we set ClusterStorageReady=False (line ~420). handleCaaSUpdate is gated behind ClusterStorageReady — so it won't enter RunProvisioningLifecycle when tiers are missing.

The gate and the flag are set in the same code block, they just live at different lines. No additional Stage 3 guard is needed.

@redhat-chai-bot, handleCaaSUpdate checks the ClusterOrder ClusterStorageReady condition, not the Tenant condition set when hasMissingTiers is true. A Ready ClusterOrder with a kubeconfig can therefore still enter RunProvisioningLifecycle while defined tiers are missing.

The Stage 3 guard is still needed if CaaS provisioning must wait for every defined tier. I’ll leave this finding open.

Do not equate absent connection data with unnecessary CaaS cleanup.

When fulfillment clients are not configured, tier resolution supplies no backend connections. If a ClusterOrder still has a kubeconfig and a ClusterStorageProvider, this branch now skips its deprovisioning job and removes its finalizer. That can leave cluster-side storage behind, including during Tenant deletion while the CaaS cluster still exists. Restrict the skip to a case where cleanup is known to be impossible or unnecessary; preserve deprovisioning for configurations that do not require fulfillment connection data.

In @osac-operator/internal/controller/storage_controller.go at line 874, Update
the zero-connection branch in the fulfillment cleanup logic so missing backend
connections alone does not skip deprovisioning or remove the finalizer when a
ClusterOrder has a kubeconfig and ClusterStorageProvider. Skip cleanup only when
it is known to be impossible or unnecessary, and preserve deprovisioning for
configurations that do not require fulfillment connection data.

This is a deliberate design choice. When backend connections are nil during CaaS teardown, the deprovisioning job can't succeed — it needs backend credentials to reach the storage array. Blocking on a job that will always fail leaves the ClusterOrder stuck in Deleting indefinitely.

This follows the same pattern already used for nil kubeconfig (line ~848) and nil provider — when the cleanup can't run, skip it and let the finalizer be removed. The CaaS cluster is being torn down; any storage resources on it will be destroyed with the cluster.

@redhat-chai-bot, thanks for the clarification. The teardown tasks do not support the claim that missing backend connections always makes CaaS cleanup impossible.

playbook_osac_delete_tenant_cluster_storage.yml passes tier definitions to the teardown role, not backend connections. The LVMS teardown removes StorageClasses. The VAST teardown removes cluster-side resources and leaves backend resources untouched. The zero-connection branch therefore skips cleanup that can run without backend credentials.

This also affects Tenant deletion: handleCaaSDelete processes ClusterOrders with the storage finalizer even when their clusters are not being deleted. Please keep the finding open and narrow the skip to a case where cleanup cannot run or is unnecessary.
