## Description:

Hi, when I do a kubectl get pxc cluster1 it shows status: error

## Steps to Reproduce:

Conditions:  
kc describe pxc cluster1 snippet:

```
Last Transition Time: 2024-05-18T14:40:02Z
Status: True
Type: initializing
Last Transition Time: 2024-05-18T14:40:02Z
Message: update persistentvolumeclaim/datadir-cluster1-pxc-0: persistentvolumeclaims "datadir-cluster1-pxc-0" is forbidden: only dynamically provisioned pvc can be resized and the storageclass that provisions the pvc must support resize
Reason: ErrorReconcile
Status: True
Type: error

```

## Version:

1.14.0

It shows it cannot resize de pv. That’s right because I use local-path-provisioner. I’ve tried reconstructing the cluster with 100G pvc’s and copying the data back in the new directories but that didn’t work.

Is there any way I can get rid of this error? I simply don’t have resizable volumes at my disposal and now I can’t get the backups to run. I’ve figured out a mysldump strategy with turning pxc-strict mode to disabled, but I really like the error to go away.

Hope anyone can help me on this one

Thx,

Bram

You should refer to this blog post - [Percona Operator Volume Expansion Without Downtime](https://www.percona.com/blog/percona-operator-volume-expansion-without-downtime/) which discussing the steps for the **volume expansion** and also covers the details when PVC volume expansion not possible and have to copy the data over a new PVC. Let us know if that helps!

Moreover, please share the below details from your environment for a quick looking.

```auto
kubectl get pvc <your-pvc-name> -o yaml
kubectl describe pvc <your-pvc-name>

```

`kubectl get pv <your-volume-name>`

```auto
kubectl get storageclass
kubectl get storageclass <your-storage-class> -o yaml
kubectl describe storageclass <your-storage-class>

```
