Repair Kubernetes StatefulSet PVC Rebind Failure

Repair Kubernetes StatefulSet PVC Rebind Failure — EVIDENCE-LIMITED REVIEW

Scenario received

A StatefulSet pod stays pending after a node replacement in a different availability zone.

Evidence inventory

• S1: StatefulSet and PVC manifests — partial extract described by the requester; original full source not provided here.
• S2: volume attachment events — partial extract described by the requester; original full source not provided here.
• S3: storage class policies — NOT PROVIDED; required to validate dependent findings.
• S4: node topology labels — NOT PROVIDED; required to validate dependent findings.

Case-specific checks

Trace claim identity and bound volume. INCOMPLETE until matching source anchors can be examined; document the observable facts, counterexamples and decision gate.
2.

Compare zone and node affinity. INCOMPLETE until matching source anchors can be examined; document the observable facts, counterexamples and decision gate.
3.

Inspect reclaim and expansion rules. INCOMPLETE until matching source anchors can be examined; document the observable facts, counterexamples and decision gate.
4.

Test a no data loss placement recovery. INCOMPLETE until matching source anchors can be examined; document the observable facts, counterexamples and decision gate.

Deliverables

PVC failure chronology. Create an evidence-linked section with observations, missing data, owner and next validation step.

Storage placement repair options. Create an evidence-linked section with observations, missing data, owner and next validation step.

Pod recovery acceptance tests. Create an evidence-linked section with observations, missing data, owner and next validation step.

Acceptance gate

No destructive claim deletion or migration is recommended without verified backups. Do not label this gate passed until supplied source records actually demonstrate it.

Verdict and next action

INCOMPLETE — evidence required. Request S3 and S4 from the authorized owner, reconcile them with S1 and S2, then repeat the four checks and log remaining conflicts. No production change, approval, communication, or test run is claimed.
