What Happened
PVCs were stuck in the Pending state because the dynamic provisioner could not create the required PVs.
Diagnosis Steps
- 1Checked PVC status using kubectl get pvc and saw that they were stuck in Pending.
- 2Investigated storage class settings and found an issue with the provisioner configuration.
Root Cause
Misconfigured storage class settings were preventing the dynamic provisioner from provisioning volumes.
Fix/Workaround
• Corrected the storage class settings, ensuring the correct provisioner was specified.
• Recreated the PVCs, and provisioning completed successfully.Lessons Learned
Validate storage class settings and provisioner configurations during cluster setup.
How to Avoid
- 1Test storage classes and volume provisioning in staging environments before production use.
- 2Monitor PV provisioning and automate alerts for failures.
