1. Create console-demo-plugin manifests
$ oc apply -f dynamic-demo-plugin/oc-manifest.yaml 
namespace/console-demo-plugin created
deployment.apps/console-demo-plugin created
service/console-demo-plugin created
consoleplugin.console.openshift.io/console-demo-plugin created 
2.Enable console-demo-plugin
$ oc patch consoles.operator.openshift.io cluster --patch '{ "spec": { "plugins": ["console-demo-plugin"] } }' --type=merge 
console.operator.openshift.io/cluster patched
3. Add a duplicate entry in spec.plugins in consoles.operator/cluster 
$ oc patch consoles.operator.openshift.io cluster --patch '{ "spec": { "plugins": ["console-demo-plugin", "console-demo-plugin"] } }' --type=merge  console.operator.openshift.io/cluster patched
$ oc get consoles.operator cluster -o json | jq .spec.plugins
[
  "console-demo-plugin",
  "console-demo-plugin"
]
4. check console pods status
$ oc get pods -n openshift-console
