Lab-15.1 Pending status issue Installing MariaDb with Helm

arturogalan

Hi everybody! I followed the steps in lab-15.1 installing mariadb via Helm package manager.

helm --debug install stable/mariadb

 

Once done, the status of the pod is pending.

master $ kubectl get po

NAME                                             READY     
alliterating-starfish-mariadb-69f5c444d7-8g5g9   0/1       

STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE

Pending   0          18m

 

 

Looking into the PVC that the pod makes, it has the following error:

master $ kubectl describe pvc alliterating-starfish-mariadb

¿Any help on how to resolve this error?: no persistent volumes available for this claim and no storage class is set 

Thanks!

Hi, 

When installing mariadb with Helm, did you use the command as provided above? 

helm --debug install stable/mariadb

or did you use the complete command as provided in the lab manual?

helm --debug install stable/mariadb \
--set persistence.enabled=false

Using the command from the lab did not produce any errors for me.

Regards,

Hello,

You could also you your experience from earlier labs to create PVs for the chart, if you didn't want to set persistence.enabled=false. May be a good exercise to see how PVs work.
