Network Operator docs: Wrong config for deployment scenario "Network Operator Deployment with NVIDIA-IPAM"

[gseidlerhpe]

What happened: Followed documentation to deploy Network Operator Deployment with NVIDIA-IPAM: https://docs.nvidia.com/networking/display/kubernetes2310/network+operator#src-144713486_NetworkOperator-NetworkOperatorDeploymentwithNVIDIA-IPAM

NVIDIA-IPAM CRD was not deployed. Could not deploy the NV-IPAM IPPool,.

What you expected to happen: NVIDIA-IPAM CRD and CNI Plugin is deployed and configured.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): Follow doc example.

Anything else we need to know?: The documented values.yaml is wrong. The entry nvIpam must not be under secondaryNetwork.

Thanks for the report. Upstream doc is fixed: https://github.com/Mellanox/network-operator-docs/pull/32

I will make sure the fix will be done also on released versions
