Known Issues

vSphere CSI Driver issues

1. Deleting PV before deleting PVC, leaves orphan volume on the datastore.
   • Impact: Orphan volumes remain on the datastore, and admin needs to delete those volumes manually using govc command.
   • Upstream issue is tracked at: https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-provisioner/issues/546
   • Workaround:
     • No workaround. User should not attempt to delete PV which is bound to PVC. User should only delete a PV if they know that the underlying volume in the storage system is gone.
     • If user has accidentally left orphan volumes on the datastore by not following the guideline, and if user has captured the volume handles or First Class Disk IDs of deleted PVs, storage admin can help delete those volumes using govc disk.rm <volume-handle/FCD ID> command.
