redhat-operators was attempted to be used after setting disableAllDefaultSources to true

OCP version: 4.10.13

Wasn't able to deploy the local-storage-operator on a disconnected setup.

After disabling all default sources, the catalogsource list was showing that only the new (and expected) sources are available:

oc get catalogsource -A
NAMESPACE NAME DISPLAY TYPE PUBLISHER AGE
openshift-marketplace ztpfw-catalog Disconnected Lab grpc disconnected-lab 22h
openshift-marketplace ztpfw-catalog-certfied Disconnected Lab Certified grpc disconnected-lab-certified 22h

The deployment of local-storage-operator was failing.

Only after we ran:
oc patch OperatorHub cluster --type json -p '[

]'

followed by:
oc patch OperatorHub cluster --type json -p '[

{"op": "add", "path": "/spec/disableAllDefaultSources", "value": true}

]'

Things settled and the same subscription yaml was successfully used to deploy the local-storage-operator
