Issue

Trident volume provisioning fails with error: Failed to provision volume with StorageClass "<sc>" : rpc error: code = unknown storage class: <sc>

PVC provisioning gets stuck with 'Pending' status.

Describing the pvc shows the error:

StorageClass delete and recreate are successful but trident keeps showing the error.

If we create a storageclass with different name, provisioning works with that.

Problematic StorageClass will not show in the output of the command ./tridentctl get sc but will show in the output of the command oc get sc

Trident controller log would show the problematic StorageClass as being deleted:
