Im very new to Openshift and are trying to create a storage cluster after installation of the Operator via Ecosystem/Software catalogue. The install of the Portworx operator looks like it is working but when i try and create a storage cluster the api and csi-ext pods keeps giving errors or Crashloopbackof when i look at the pods in the project for portworx.

I have created portworx yaml file using [portworx.com](http://portworx.com) without any changes.

I am trying to use iSCSI to connect to the Pure X20 storage, i can from the nodes terminale in the Openshift GUI reach the Pure storage using the iscsiadm cmds.

Anyone have any idéas?

ETA: we are running Openshift on baremetal X86 servers.
