Trident worker Nodes Fail to Mount NVMe/TCP Volumes After ONTAP Cluster Expansion
Applies to
- NetApp Trident 25.06 and later
- ONTAP version 9.15.1 and later
- Ubuntu 22.04
Issue
- After expanding an ONTAP cluster from 2 nodes to 4 nodes and updating Trident backend configuration to include new NVMe/TCP LIFs, Kubernetes worker nodes fail to mount NVMe/TCP volumes provisioned from the new nodes.
-
Volumes are successfully created on ONTAP (Node3/Node4), but the worker nodes do not mount them.NVMe connections to new LIFs are not established automatically.Trident does not trigger nvme connect to new NVMe/TCP targets after backend update.
-
StatefulSet scaling triggers volume provisioning on new aggregates, but mount fails.
