12.3. Diagnosing DataVolumes using events and conditions

Bound – A successfully bound PVC displays in this example.

Note that the Type is Bound, so the Status is True. If the PVC is not bound, the Status is False.

When the PVC is bound, an event is generated stating that the PVC is bound. In this case, the Reason is Bound and Status is True. The Message indicates which PVC owns the DataVolume.

Message, in the Events section, provides further details including how long the PVC has been bound (Age) and by what resource (From), in this case datavolume-controller:

Status:
	Conditions:
		Last Heart Beat Time:  2020-07-15T03:58:24Z
		Last Transition Time:  2020-07-15T03:58:24Z
		Message:               PVC win10-rootdisk Bound
		Reason:                Bound
		Status:                True
		Type:                  Bound

	Events:
		Type     Reason     Age    From                   Message
		----     ------     ----   ----                   -------
		Normal   Bound      24s    datavolume-controller  PVC example-dv Bound

Running – In this case, note that Type is Running and Status is False, indicating that an event has occurred that caused an attempted operation to fail, changing the Status from True to False.

However, note that Reason is Completed and the Message field indicates Import Complete.

In the Events section, the Reason and Message contain additional troubleshooting information about the failed operation. In this example, the Message displays an inability to connect due to a 404, listed in the Events section’s first Warning.

From this information, you conclude that an import operation was running, creating contention for other operations that are attempting to access the DataVolume:

Status:
	 Conditions:
		 Last Heart Beat Time:  2020-07-15T04:31:39Z
		 Last Transition Time:  2020-07-15T04:31:39Z
		 Message:               Import Complete
		 Reason:                Completed
		 Status:                False
		 Type:                  Running

	Events:
		Type     Reason           Age                From                   Message
		----     ------           ----               ----                   -------
		Warning  Error            12s (x2 over 14s)  datavolume-controller  Unable to connect
		to http data source: expected status code 200, got 404. Status: 404 Not Found

Ready – If Type is Ready and Status is True, then the DataVolume is ready to be used, as in the following example. If the DataVolume is not ready to be used, the Status is False:

Status:
	 Conditions:
		 Last Heart Beat Time: 2020-07-15T04:31:39Z
		 Last Transition Time:  2020-07-15T04:31:39Z
		 Status:                True
		 Type:                  Ready
