Applies to

  • Astra Trident versions prior to 25.02
  •  Google Cloud NetApp Volumes (GCNV) Flex service level
  •  Kubernetes clusters (GKE) using Trident as a CSI provisioner
  •  StorageClass/TridentBackendConfig using zonal pools

Issue

Attempts to provision PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs) from GCNV Flex zonal pools fail when using Astra Trident.

 Kubernetes events show provisioning failures:

Warning  ProvisioningFailed  csi.trident.netapp.io_trident-controller-xxxx  
failed to provision volume with StorageClass "trident-gcnv-flex":  
rpc error: code=Unknown desc=encountered error(s) in creating the volume:  
[Failed to create volume pvc-xxxx on storage pool gcp-gcnv-flex_pool_0 from backend <backend name>: no GCNV storage pools found for Trident pool gcp-gcnv-flex_pool_0]

  • Trident logs contain the same error string.
  • Creating Flex volumes via Google Cloud Console works without issue.
  • Standard (regional) GCNV pools provision successfully through Trident.
  • Only the Flex TridentBackendConfig specifies a zone; the standard config specifies a region.
