Cannot Provision PVC with External NFS

/kind bug

What happened: I have Kubernetes clusters operating on VMware Cloud, hosted on AWS. The cluster is equipped with vSphere CSI drivers as a default configuration. Currently, I'm working with an external NFS storage solution that's accessible from my cluster. Despite my attempts to leverage the vSphere CSI driver to establish a connection with PV with this NFS device, I'm encountering issues. The YAML snippet I utilized for creating the storage class is provided below.

apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:
  name: nfs-vsphere
provisioner: csi.vsphere.vmware.com
parameters:
  storagePolicyName: optional
  server: 10.110.75.20
  path: /myvol
reclaimPolicy: Delete
volumeBindingMode: Immediate

The PV is not bound and it is in pending state. The error I see in PVC is

waiting for a volume to be created, either by external provisioner "csi.vsphere.vmware.com" or manually created by system administrator

What you expected to happen:

I expect the PV to be bound and I should be able to create PVCs

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): Use the above storage class and try .

Anything else we need to know?:

Environment:

csi-vsphere version: vsphere-csi-driver/csi/driver:v2.2.0-eks-a-38
