Missing StorageClass on TKGS guest cluster after adding new storage policy to Namespace

Products

• VMware vSphere with Tanzu

Issue/Introduction

After adding new storage policy to a Namespace, you can see the equivalent StorageClass on your  Supervisor VM. However, it does not show up in the TKGS guest cluster when you run the command

kubectl get storageclasses -A

 

Environment

8.0U3

Cause

 TKGS guest cluster yaml contained the following:

    storage:
      classes:
      - <storage class>
      defaultClass: <original storage class>

This was blocking the new storage classes being added to the TKGS guest cluster.

Resolution

1. Edit the TKGS guest cluster and remove the classes list. Then save and exit

k edit  tkc -n <namespace of tkgs-cluster> <tkgs-cluster-name> -o yaml

CHANGE 
    storage:
      classes:
      - <storage class>
      defaultClass: <default storageclass>

TO
    storage:
      defaultClass: <default storage class>

 

2. Confirm new storageclasses show correctly. On the TKGS guest cluster, run the following to list them

kubectl get storageclasses -A
