Company ABC has multiple offices interconnected via an MPLS provider and each office runs OSPF with a separate Area number.
In office #2 there is a department that is colaborating with a PARTNER company and office router (R5) has a link connected to partner's router. For security reasons, it has been decided to split the routing tables into separate logical instances using VRFs, as displayed below:

After you finish the configuration, you notice that there is no connectivity between office #1 and office #2 while connectivity with your PARTNER is ok.
You troubleshoot the OSPF and notice that adjacency with your PE is ok, the OSPF database contains the correct data but the routing table is not ok:
