Challenge

When attempting to install or upgrade Veeam Kasten (Enterprise - Term) or Veeam Kasten (Enterprise - PAYGO), the operator is no longer available in the Red Hat Operator Hub.

Cause

With the deprecation of the Red Hat Operator Marketplace in April 2025, Kasten licenses can no longer be purchased via the Red Hat Operator Marketplace. As a result, the Enterprise - Term/PAYGO offers have been deprecated from the Red Hat Operator Hub.

Customers currently using either the kasten-k10-operator-paygo-rhmp-bundle or kasten-k10-operator-term-rhmp-bundle will need to transition to the remaining Veeam Kasten operator (k10-kasten-operator-rhmp) and apply the license to it.

Solution

The no longer available Veeam Kasten operator (Enterprise - Term or PAYGO) can safely be deleted and replaced with the remaining available Veeam Kasten operator, while preserving the Kasten instance itself.

  1. Export the k10-config map as a backup.
  2. Ensure Kasten Disaster Recovery is configured, and you have recorded the cluster ID and DR passphrase. This allows you to recover Kasten and its persistent data should something not work as planned during the Operator replacement operation.
  3. Uninstall the OpenShift Veeam Kasten Enterprise Term/Paygo Operator, while leaving the k10 operand and all resources in the kasten-io namespace intact.
    1. Via the OpenShift UI, navigate to Operators > Installed Operators > Veeam Kasten ≡ menu > Uninstall Operator
    2. Ensure that the option "Delete all operand instances for this operator" is unselected.
Red Hat OpenShift console showing the "Installed Operators" page. The Veeam Kasten (Free) operator is listed in the "kasten-io" namespace with status "Succeeded." The "Uninstall Operator" option is highlighted in the actions menu.

Uninstall Operator dialog box asking to uninstall the Veeam Kasten (Free) operator from the "kasten-io" namespace, with an option to delete all operand instances for this operator unselected and "Uninstall" highlighted.
Ensure that the option "Delete all operand instances for this operator" is unselected.
  1. Install the new Veeam Kasten Operator from the Operator Hub.
  2. Confirm the k10 operand is visible in the Veeam Kasten Operator menu.

Note that the single Veeam Kasten operator is fully featured, and there will be no reduction in features, capabilities, or functionality when an enterprise license is applied.
