Hello, I get the error

> Failed to get secret [px-pure-secret]. Err: secrets “px-pure-secret” not found

when I describe my storageclass, however the secret is created. This seems like a chicken and egg issue. Any ideas on how to resolve?

> kubectl get secret -n kube-system px-pure-secret
> 
> NAME TYPE DATA AGE  
> px-pure-secret Opaque 1 3m7s

Likely, you are using no namespace with describe. Can you provide the complete command - replace get with describe (the one you provided, check if that works).

This is the output when I describe my storageclass and my secret. Please let me know if there is something else you are looking for.

Thanks

I was able to get my cluster to pick the secret up by running this command

> kubectl label nodes --all px/service=restart --overwrite

My issue is now resolved.
