Using third party Backup in Trident Kubernetes Cluster causes PVC creation timeouts
Applies to
- Astra Trident
- Trident Protect
- Kubernetes/Openshift
- Commvault backups
- Cohesity backups
Issue
New PVC creations are being delayed for a very long time after running backups on pods and their PVCs:
- Errors seen include
context deadline exceededfor PVC creations - see also Trident mount volume failed with the error "context deadline exceeded" - Additionally errors include Trident error "client rate limiter Wait returned an error: context canceled" due to Kubernetes and Trident (23.04+) request rate limiters
- Cleanup of previous cloned PVCs and snapshots is delayed for some of the backed up PVCs, causing them to be in deleting state
