csi-controller not reconciling after deployment deleted from supervisor cluster

Products

• VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service

Issue/Introduction

When in an ssh session to the supervisor cluster, you deleted the deployments of system pods like csi-controller. While pods are recreated after deletion, deleting a whole deployment will prevent pods from recreating.

Resolution

Please reach out to Broadcom Support if you run into this issue.

Additional Information

PLEASE NOTE: When on the supervisor control plane VM you have permissions to permanently damage the cluster. If VMware Support finds evidence of a customer making changes to the supervisor cluster from the SV VM, they may mark your cluster as unsupported and require you redeploy the entire vSphere with Tanzu solution. Only use this session to test networks, look at logs, and run kubectl logs/get/describe commands. Do not deploy, delete, or edit anything from this session without the express permission of a KB or VMware by Broadcom Technical Support.
