Pre-upgrade diagnosis for workload cluster fails with addons are not provisioned for calico-tca-addon in TCA

Products

• VMware Telco Cloud Automation

Issue/Introduction

• In VMware Telco Cloud Automation (TCA), executing a pre-upgrade diagnosis on a workload cluster reports following error under the cluster TcaAddon Diagnosis UI
  Message:
  Addon(s) are Not Provisioned.
  calico-tca-addon
  This may impact the cluster operations. Please ensure Addon(s) are provisioned."

 

• Despite this failure, verification with command kubectl get pods -A | grep -i calico confirms that the add-on status in the cluster is in the Provisioned state and all Calico Pods are in a running state.

 

• Additionally, the TCA UI indicates the calico-tca-addon is fully deployed with a green "Provisioned" status
  
  

Environment

TCA 3.4

Cause

The Calico add-on is stuck in a configuring state within the management cluster, causing a status synchronization mismatch that prevents the pre-upgrade diagnosis from recognizing the successful deployment.

Resolution

1. Log in to the VMware Telco Cloud Automation (TCA) UI.
2. Navigate to the add-ons configuration section for the affected workload cluster.
3. Perform a dummy edit to the calico-tca-addon configuration e.g. start the edit workflow but don't change any parameter.
4. Save the configuration changes to force a state resynchronization.
5. Monitor the add-on status to ensure it transitions to "Provisioning" and then successfully completes.
6. Re-execute the workload cluster pre-upgrade diagnosis to confirm the check now passes successfully.
