Announcing the General Availability of Portworx Backup 2.9.0
We are excited to announce that the latest version of Portworx Backup 2.9.0 is now Generally Available. The latest version of PX Backup has the following new features and host of improvements. Features: Retry backups at VM level: you can now retry only failed VMs in VM backups without reprocessing successful ones, reducing load on backup server. This feature helps maintain efficient backup operations, provides granular control on VM backups and ensures better adherence to RPO targets. PXB deployment on proxy-enabled clusters: you can deploy PXB in proxy-enabled Kubernetes cluster (PXB cluster) environments across all supported platforms, except IKS. It supports proxy configuration through Helm parameters or Kubernetes secrets, including setups requiring authentication and custom CA certificates to ensure secure and compliant communication. Bulk operations for schedules: you can now suspend, resume, or delete multiple backup schedules in bulk, simplifying backup management across large environments. In addition, you can filter schedules by their names, schedule policies, or a combination of both to precisely target the desired schedules. Back up volume resources: you can now back up only the Kubernetes PersistentVolume (PV) and PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) specifications without including the actual volume data. This helps to optimize backup jobs by reducing data footprint, improving performance, and avoiding redundancy when the volume data is protected through other mechanisms like external snapshots or NFS backups. Usage instructions: PXB 2.9.0 can be consumed via central. Upgrade instructions can be found here.

Hey I observed the following issue with pso which renders it unusable in 25 of our customer clusters
We can still not upgrade to portworx because of missing features, ```E0105 1755.820180 1 runtime.go:69] Observed a panic: "invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference" (runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference) /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/vendor/k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/runtime/runtime.go:76 /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/vendor/k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/runtime/runtime.go:65 /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/vendor/k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/runtime/runtime.go:51 /usr/local/go/src/runtime/panic.go:969 /usr/local/go/src/runtime/panic.go:212 /usr/local/go/src/runtime/signal_unix.go:742 /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/pkg/apis/pso/v1alpha1/intrusion_types.go:232 /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/pkg/apis/pso/v1alpha1/intrusion_types.go:209 /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/pkg/controller/cockroach/intrusion/intrusion_controller.go:444 /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/vendor/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller/controller.go:215 /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/vendor/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller/controller.go:158 /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/vendor/k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait/wait.go:133 /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/vendor/k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait/wait.go:134 /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/vendor/k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait/wait.go:88 /usr/local/go/src/runtime/asm_amd64.s:1374 panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference [recovered] panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference [signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x0 pc=0xf6b5a7] goroutine 417 [running]: http://k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/runtime.HandleCrash(0x0|k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/runtime.HandleCrash(0x0, 0x0, 0x0) /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/vendor/k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/runtime/runtime.go:58 +0x10c panic(0x161fd00, 0x22731b0) /usr/local/go/src/runtime/panic.go:969 +0x1b9 http://pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/pkg/apis/pso/v1alpha1.GetNodeIdentifier|pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/pkg/apis/pso/v1alpha1.GetNodeIdentifier(0xc0006d9564, 0xa, 0x0, 0xc00079d360, 0x11, 0x0, 0x0) /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/pkg/apis/pso/v1alpha1/intrusion_types.go:232 +0x67 http://pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/pkg/apis/pso/v1alpha1.ValidateIntrusionSpec(0xc0005f2408|pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/pkg/apis/pso/v1alpha1.ValidateIntrusionSpec(0xc0005f2408, 0xc0002d0140, 0x0) /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/pkg/apis/pso/v1alpha1/intrusion_types.go:209 +0x2c5 http://pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/pkg/controller/cockroach/intrusion.(*ReconcileIntrusion).Reconcile(0xc00057b6c0|pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/pkg/controller/cockroach/intrusion.(*ReconcileIntrusion).Reconcile(0xc00057b6c0, 0xc0006d9520, 0xa, 0xc0006d9504, 0x6, 0xc0007ef578, 0xc0007ef578, 0x448f33, 0xc000092a18) /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/pkg/controller/cockroach/intrusion/intrusion_controller.go:444 +0x12f2 http://sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(*Controller).processNextWorkItem(0xc00025ca00|sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(*Controller).processNextWorkItem(0xc00025ca00, 0xc0008eab00) /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/vendor/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller/controller.go:215 +0x1de http://sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(*Controller).Start.func1()|sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(*Controller).Start.func1() /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/vendor/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller/controller.go:158 +0x36 http://k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait.JitterUntil.func1(0xc0005994c0)|k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait.JitterUntil.func1(0xc0005994c0) /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/vendor/k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait/wait.go:133 +0x5f http://k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait.JitterUntil(0xc0005994c0|k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait.JitterUntil(0xc0005994c0, 0x3b9aca00, 0x0, 0x1, 0xc0005c3d40) /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/vendor/k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait/wait.go:134 +0x105 http://k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait.Until(0xc0005994c0|k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait.Until(0xc0005994c0, 0x3b9aca00, 0xc0005c3d40) /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/vendor/k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait/wait.go:88 +0x4d created by http://sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(*Controller).Start|sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(*Controller).Start /go/src/pso.purestorage.com/cockroach-operator/vendor/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller/controller.go:157 +0x331```I'm trying to redeploy a workload
I'm trying to redeploy a workload. When the pod is trying to spin up i'm getting this error: ``` MountVolume.SetUp failed for volume "pvc-af2b1e0f-2732-4c13-ac9f-a8b8332069a0" : rpc error: code = AlreadyExists desc = Volume is attached on another node ``` I thought PX was supposed to move the volumes to where the nodes are, or to schedule the pods to be run where the volume is? this volume has a repl of 2.
How to install Portworx with OpenShift using Operator
Just received this from my partner jerewis ---------------------------------- Bruce, Did a POC with customer last two days. Ran into typical issues with RedHat CEPH and customer needs HA storage and DR. I want to stage up a POC… but quickly get them up and working so send over deployment guide / notes from my OCP 4.10 install which is same as theirs.. But base operator runs into error now on install. https://docs.portworx.com/portworx-install-with-kubernetes/openshift/operator/|Portworx Operator Step 1: Install Operator based deployment at je
