| Delete namespace that has PVCs and pods created with the driver. The External health monitor sidecar crashes as a result of this operation.| Deleting the namespace deletes the PVCs first and then removes the pods in the namespace. This brings a condition where pods exist without their PVCs and causes the external-health-monitor sidecar to crash. This is a known issue and has been reported at https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-health-monitor/issues/100|
| When a node goes down, the block volumes attached to the node cannot be attached to another node | This is a known issue and has been reported at https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-attacher/issues/215. Workaround: <br /> 1. Force delete the pod running on the node that went down <br /> 2. Delete the volumeattachment to the node that went down. <br /> Now the volume can be attached to the new node. |

A CSI ephemeral pod may not get created in OpenShift 4.13 and fail with the error `"error when creating pod: the pod uses an inline volume provided by CSIDriver csi-vxflexos.dellemc.com, and the namespace has a pod security enforcement level that is lower than privileged."` | This issue occurs because OpenShift 4.13 introduced the CSI Volume Admission plugin to restrict the use of a CSI driver capable of provisioning CSI ephemeral volumes during pod admission. Therefore, an additional label `security.openshift.io/csi-ephemeral-volume-profile` in [csidriver.yaml](https://github.com/dell/helm-charts/blob/csi-vxflexos-2.10.0/charts/csi-vxflexos/templates/csidriver.yaml) file with the required security profile value should be provided. Follow [OpenShift 4.13 documentation for CSI Ephemeral Volumes](https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.13/storage/container_storage_interface/ephemeral-storage-csi-inline.html) for more information. |
| If the volume limit is exhausted and there are pending pods and PVCs due to `exceed max volume count`, the pending PVCs will be bound to PVs and the pending pods will be scheduled to nodes when the driver pods are restarted. | It is advised not to have any pending pods or PVCs once the volume limit per node is exhausted on a CSI Driver. There is an open issue reported with kubenetes at https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/95911 with the same behavior. |
| The PowerFlex Dockerfile is incorrectly labeling the version as 2.7.0 for the 2.8.0 version. | Describe the driver pod using ```kubectl describe pod $podname -n vxflexos``` to ensure v2.8.0 is installed. |
| Resource quotas may not work properly with the CSI PowerFlex driver. PowerFlex is only able to assign storage in 8Gi chunks, so if a create volume call is made with a size not divisible by 8Gi, CSI-PowerFlex will round up to the next 8Gi boundary when it provisions storage -- however, the resource quota will not record this size but rather the original size in the create request. This means that, for example, if a 10Gi resource quota is set, and a user provisions 10 1Gi PVCs, 80Gi of storage will actually be allocated, which is well over the amount specified in the resource quota. | For now, users should only provision volumes in 8Gi-divisible chunks if they want to use resource quotas. |
