Why do I see wrong s3fs or IAM API endpoints when I create a PVC?

Why do I see wrong s3fs or IAM API endpoints when I create a PVC?

Virtual Private Cloud Classic infrastructure

This troubleshooting topic applies only to Red Hat OpenShift clusters that run version 3.11.

When you create the PVC, the PVC remains in a pending state. After you run the oc describe pvc <pvc_name> command, you see one of the following error messages:

Bad value for ibm.io/object-store-endpoint XXXX: scheme is missing. Must be of the form http://<hostname> or https://<hostname>

Bad value for ibm.io/iam-endpoint XXXX: scheme is missing. Must be of the form http://<hostname> or https://<hostname>

The s3fs API endpoint for the bucket that you want to use might have the wrong format, or your cluster is deployed in a location that is supported in Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud but is not yet supported by the IBM Cloud Object Storage plug-in.

Complete the following steps:

  1. Check the s3fs API endpoint that was automatically assigned by the ibmc Helm plug-in to your storage classes during the IBM Cloud Object Storage plug-in installation. The endpoint is based on the location that your cluster is deployed to.

    oc get sc ibmc-s3fs-standard-regional -o yaml | grep object-store-endpoint

    If the command returns ibm.io/object-store-endpoint: NA, your cluster is deployed in a location that is supported in Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud but is not yet supported by the IBM Cloud Object Storage plug-in. To add the location to the Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud, post a question in Slack or open an IBM Cloud support case. For more information, see Getting help and support.

  2. If you manually added the s3fs API endpoint with the ibm.io/endpoint annotation or the IAM API endpoint with the ibm.io/iam-endpoint annotation in your PVC, make sure that you added the endpoints in the format https://<s3fs_api_endpoint> and https://<iam_api_endpoint>. The annotation overwrites the API endpoints that are automatically set by the ibmc plug-in in the IBM Cloud Object Storage storage classes.

    oc describe pvc <pvc_name>
