6.7.4.2. Absent default storage class
There are two possible scenarios where PVCs can attempt to use a non-existent default storage class:
- An administrator removes the default storage class or marks it as non-default, and then a user creates a PVC requesting the default storage class.
- During installation, the installer creates a PVC requesting the default storage class, which has not yet been created.
In the preceding scenarios, PVCs remain in the pending state indefinitely. To resolve this situation, create a default storage class or declare one of the existing storage classes as the default. As soon as the default storage class is created or declared, the PVCs get the new default storage class. If possible, the PVCs eventually bind to statically or dynamically provisioned PVs as usual, and move out of the pending state.
