kubernetes: vsphere cloud provider dynamic volume provisioning fails with message "No VM found"

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST?: /kind bug /sig sig-vmware

What happened: when try to create pvc using dynamic volume provisioning using storageclass, the status of the pvc is pending forever and below is the kubectl describe pvc output looks like

Events: Type Reason Age From Message Warning ProvisioningFailed 9s (x3 over 26s) persistentvolume-controller Failed to provision volume with StorageClass “thin-disk”: No VM found

What you expected to happen: PVC is successfully created and bound

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): Start kubernetes as vsphere cloud provider, create storage class for vsphere cloud provider and create PVC for storageclass

Anything else we need to know?: When investigate the issue and the kubernetes source a workaround was worked. https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/pkg/cloudprovider/providers/vsphere/vsphere_util.go func GetNodeUUID(node *v1.Node) (string, error)

the method is suppose to return node UUID if(kubeletVersion < v1.9.4) { return node.Status.NodeInfo.SystemUUID }else{ return “vsphere://”+node.Spec.ProviderID } so since we have kubernetes version v1.12.2 UUID will get get from node.Spec.ProviderID

kubectl get no ubuntu-rnd-02 -o json { “apiVersion”: “v1”, “kind”: “Node”, “spec”: { “podCIDR”: “10.244.2.0/24” }, “status”: { “nodeInfo”: { “systemUUID”: “421F1857-47B2-C797-312D-C2B5D67059D5”, “kubeletVersion”: “v1.12.2”, } } }

Since we have kubernetes version v1.12.2 it should get node UUID from node.Spec.ProviderID but when try to get node details using kubectl get node -o yaml there is no value for node.Spec.ProviderID

By editing kubernetes node resource and adding node.Spec.ProviderID manually and after restarting kube-controller-manager, PVC was created successfully and status was changed to Bounded

apiVersion: v1 kind: Node spec: providerID: vsphere://421FEB34-F754-4D5D-DD3F-672B8B30322F
