HO uses the ICSP/IDMS from mgmt cluster to extract the OCP release metadata to be used in the HostedCluster.

But they are extracted only once in main.go:
https://github.com/jparrill/hypershift/blob/9bf1403ae09c0f262ebfe006267e3b442cc70149/hypershift-operator/main.go#L287-L293
before starting the HC and NP controllers but they are never refreshed anymore when ICSP/IDMS changes on the management cluster neither when a new HostedCluster is created.

    

    4.14 4.15 4.16

100%


    

    1. ensure that HO is already running
    2. create an ICSP or a IMDS on the management cluster
    3. try to create an hosted-cluster
    

the imageRegistryOverrides setting for the new hosted-cluster ignores the ICSP/IMDS created when the HO was already running.
Killing HO operator pod and wait for it to restart will bring to a different result.

    

HO is consistently consuming  ICSP/IMDS info at runtime without the need to be restarted

    

    It affects disconnected deployments
