Volumes Go Offline in Nimble Storage during OpenShift Virtualization Live Migration

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • While Live-migrating a Virtual Machine from one node to another, it causes the Virtual Machine to shutdown and the associated volumes show offline in the Nimble Storage backend.
  • The PVC uses a StorageClass including HPE CSI parameter accessProtocol: fc.

Fiber Channel StorageClass Example:

apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:
  name: hpe-storage-fc
provisioner: csi.hpe.com
parameters:
  csi.storage.k8s.io/provisioner-secret-name: hpe-backend
  csi.storage.k8s.io/provisioner-secret-namespace: hpe-storage
  csi.storage.k8s.io/controller-publish-secret-name: hpe-backend
  csi.storage.k8s.io/controller-publish-secret-namespace: hpe-storage
  csi.storage.k8s.io/node-stage-secret-name: hpe-backend
  csi.storage.k8s.io/node-stage-secret-namespace: hpe-storage
  accessProtocol: fc
  pool: default
reclaimPolicy: Delete
volumeBindingMode: Immediate
allowVolumeExpansion: true
