Accidentaly deleted openshift object: LinstorController

Question

I have accidentally deleted LinstorController instance from Linstor Operator by Openshift console.

Fortunatelly it was not deleted because LinstorSatelliteSet exists.

Please see the error: oc describe linstorcontroller/linstor

... errors: - >- temporary error: timeout=60000000000, error=controller controller still has active satellites which must be cleared before deletion: [txl4201.nprod01.ocp.vub.sk txl4202.nprod01.ocp.vub.sk txl4203.nprod01.ocp.vub.sk txl4204.nprod01.ocp.vub.sk txl4205.nprod01.ocp.vub.sk txl4301.nprod01.ocp.vub.sk txl4302.nprod01.ocp.vub.sk txl4303.nprod01.ocp.vub.sk txl4304.nprod01.ocp.vub.sk]

Is it possible to recover from this state and how?

Openshift ver. 4.8.29 Linstor Operator ver. 1.5.1 Linstor controller version 1.13.0; GIT-hash: 37c02e20aa52f26ef28ce4464925d9e53327171c

Thank you in advance

The problem was resulted by deleting the finalizers following Red Hat knowledgebase: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2317401 of the deleted LinstorController object oc patch linstorcontrollers linstor --type='merge' -p '{"metadata":{"finalizers":null}}' and recreating it by the original yaml file again. The lucky thing was LinstorController did not initialized its db but reused it. Everythings is working.
