CSI Driver for Kubernetes was introduced one month ago leverages Nutanix Volumes (formerly known as ABS) to provide scalable and persistent storage for stateful applications. (For more info check this blog post )

With the recent Kubernetes 1.12 some breaking changes were introduced (More details mentioned here # 68688 ), it makes current CSI driver not working.

Volume mounting is failing with error like:

From PR Add CSI action required to 1.12 release notes
  • In anticipation of CSI 1.0 in the next release, Kubernetes 1.12 calls the CSI [code]NodeGetInfo[/code] RPC instead of [code]NodeGetId[/code] RPC. Ensure your CSI Driver implements [code]NodeGetInfo(...)[/code] before upgrading to 1.12
  • Kubernetes 1.12 also enables Kubelet device plugin registration feature by default. Before upgrading to 1.12, ensure the [code]driver-registrar[/code] CSI sidecar container for your CSI driver is configured to handle plugin registration (set the [code]--kubelet-registration-path[/code] parameter on [code]driver-registrar[/code] to expose a new unix domain socket to handle Kubelet Plugin Registration).


Nutanix is aware of these changes and working on fix to address this RPC call changes for the CSI driver , will be available soon.

Please make sure to check the CSI documentation before upgrading to K8's 1.12 or above.
