Warning Failed 16m (x12 over 17m) kubelet Error: ImageInspectError Normal Created <invalid> (x9 over 16m) kubelet Created container: csi-provisioner Warning InspectFailed <invalid> (x152 over 17m) kubelet Failed to inspect image "": rpc error: code = Unknown desc = short name mode is enforcing, but image name netapp/trident:25.10.0 returns ambiguous list
- As a result, Trident images cannot be pulled, and the CSI Operator installation does not complete.
