Objective: Verify that ALL CNO-managed control plane operands restart when restart-date is set, not just CNCC.
Maps to: The fix applies the annotation to ALL rendered workloads
Cluster: brcox-88531-hc on Azure dev mgmt cluster — HCP namespace: clusters-brcox-88531-hc
Release image: registry.build10.ci.openshift.org/ci-ln-1qhpr62/release:latest (CNO PR #3030 + HyperShift PR #8751)
Note: This scenario shares the same annotation event as Scenario 2 (restart-date set at 11:43:15Z).
| Step | Check | Result | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Record timestamps for all CNO operands (before) | PASS | All 4 operands recorded at 11:13 UTC (see evidence below) |
| 2 | Set restart-date annotation |
PASS | Set to 2026-06-17T11:43:15Z (same event as Scenario 2) |
| 3 | cloud-network-config-controller restarted |
PASS | 5c7997f74f-7hllb → 76dd98d985-k6zvs (11:45:28Z) |
| 4 | multus-admission-controller restarted |
PASS | 6d7b6dfc49-mgxlc → 5fd559d858-75t5j (11:45:35Z) |
| 5 | network-node-identity restarted |
PASS | b5d5546d8-kdgb7 → 85d874994d-pd9ks (11:45:50Z) |
| 6 | ovnkube-control-plane restarted |
PASS | 6c56d86876-ksfc5 → 7dbccb64d4-g8stz (11:45:44Z) |
| 7 | All pods reach Running/Ready | PASS | All 4 pods Running/Ready at 11:47:37Z check |
