vSphere CSI driver

[LennertMertens]

Hi does anybody have some experience iwth UPI provisioned OKD clusters on VMware vSphere? I'm currently deploying 4.13 but I seem to have som eissues with configuring the CSI driver. Went through the documentation and did everything explained there. Still seeing some issues however.

Thanks!

Hi i'm also having issues i cannot provision PVC's.
"
failed to provision volume with StorageClass "thin-csi": rpc error: code = Internal desc = failed to create volume. Error: auth service: no shared datastore found for block volume provisioning

Can you provide a must gather? Do you have a shared datastore? How did you install, UPI or IPI?

IPI latest version 4.14.0-0.okd-2024-01-06-084517
Yes i have a shared datastore.

some more info:

[root@bastion install_11012024_1_SUCCESS]# oc get storageclasses thin-csi

Also check openshift-storage-policy-gto-nprd-27gdq in Vcenter and seems to be all ok there....

@jcpowermac well if the IPI did not have any issues provisioning the nodes for the cluster in the same datastore why would the cluster after installation have any issues?
Where can i double check the credentials used by the driver?

Thanks

[PolarisPT]

@jcpowermac maybe i gave the wrong datastore option in install-config.yaml...
AAA_SNT_TOOLS_T0 is the datastore cluster
AAA_SNT_TOOLS_T0_DS01 is a member

In install-config.yaml i had :
AAA_SNT_TOOLS_T0_DS01

Thanks

If you provided the wrong credentials cluster wouldn't have installed

vmotion
but since I don't know your vsphere design I am just guessing to try to determine a cause.

Also, ensure that you specify full username@domain in vsphere credentials.

Fixed my issue !
It was related with the vmware user, i had to use "DOMAIN\USER" in the credentials secrets instead of "USER" only.
