Hawkular and Heapster pods in Openshift 3 are not running after PVC replaced the former ephemeral storage.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

The persistent volume claim was added recently and, before that, ephemeral storage was in use. As ephemeral storage was in use, hawkular schema was lost when restarting the pod (as expected with ephemeral storage) and, when starting from new blank persistent storage, it was not present yet there

Events like the following ones are found on openshift-infra namespace:

message: |
    Readiness probe failed: The heapster process is not yet started, it is waiting for the Hawkular Metrics to start.
 message: |
    Readiness probe failed: The MetricService is not yet in the STARTED state [STARTING]. We need to wait until its in the STARTED state.
  message: |
    Liveness probe failed: The MetricsService is in a FAILED state. Aborting
