Hello, we increased the size of our PV volume. We have 3 nodes. We followed the procedure: [Scale Percona Distribution for MySQL on Kubernetes](https://www.percona.com/doc/kubernetes-operator-for-mysql/ps/scaling.html)
When we try to start the cluster, it does not start. The problem is that the first node is a slave, and it’s trying to reach the third node that it hasn’t created yet.
If the first node cannot start, the pod switches to _crashloopbackoff_ and stops creating the cluster.
**The logs from cluster-br-prd-mysql-0:**

Can you help me start the cluster?
I really appreciate your help. Thanks!

Hi @Sebastian_Migliorisi,
Most probably you hit a bug, the new MySQL Operator is not considered stable and production ready at the moment. Could you please share the exact steps you performed to resize the PV?

Hi @Ege_Gunes, thanks for your reply.
Yes, first I tried to restart all the nodes:
```auto
kubectl rollout restart statefulset -n percona cluster-br-prd-mysql
```
Then I tried to increase the PV size:
```auto
kubectl get -n percona PerconaServerMySQL -o yaml > CR_backup.yaml
kubectl delete -f CR_backup.yaml
kubectl edit pvc -n percona datadir-cluster-br-prd-mysql-0
kubectl edit pvc -n percona datadir-cluster-br-prd-mysql-1
kubectl edit pvc -n percona datadir-cluster-br-prd-mysql-2
```
Then I edited **CR\_backup.yaml** to change the new size and applied the configuration.
```auto
kubectl apply -f CR_backup.yaml
```
This last step didn’t work, and I am unable to start the cluster anymore.
Do you recommend using XtraDB Cluster Operator instead?
Best Regards,
