I was trying to increase the PVC size from 10G to 20G, since we are running on 1.9.3 doing it online is not there. So i have deleted the PVC and created with new value of 20G as storage.
pvc-b196868cd-bc75-12e8-ad32-075738325c 100Gi RWO Retain Released myapp/myapp-backup-pv-claim` persistent 4m
As i deleted, the PV status turned on to "Released" and when i tried to recreate the PVC the it got created but with the status "lost"
myapp-myapp-backup-pv-claim Lost pvc-03b34iknca1-6fr3-19ea-af3b-0073yh2u97f 0 ntfts19-k8s-0101 13m
We are using the Vsphere volumes. Tried the solution of "kubectl patch pv pv-for-rabbitmq -p '{"spec":{"claimRef": null}}'" this helped me to bring back the pv in "Available" status, now the PVC is in stuck with "Pending" state.
