PodStartupStorageOperationsFailing alert in RHOCP 4

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

Receiving the PodStartupStorageOperationsFailing alert, but there are no pods in the ContainerCreating state in the cluster:

Failing storage operation "volume_attach" of volume plugin kubernetes.io/csi:csi.vsphere.vmware.com was preventing Pods on node from starting for past 5 minutes. Please investigate Pods that are "ContainerCreating" on the node: "oc get pod --field-selector=spec.nodeName= --all-namespaces | grep ContainerCreating". Events of the Pods should contain exact error message: "oc describe pod -n <pod namespace> <pod name>". 
summary = Pods can't start because volume_attach of volume plugin kubernetes.io/csi:csi.vsphere.vmware.com is permanently failing on node
