vSphere CSI: Storage DRS support

[yuga711]

The vSphere CSI driver page states vSphere CSI driver and Cloud Native Storage in vSphere does not currently support Storage DRS feature in vSphere. Since CSI driver already creates FCDs, can you please explain what is the limitation in supporting the storage DRS feature? Also, is this feature in the CSI driver roadmap? Thanks!

Supporting SDRS necessitates collaboration across multiple teams to integrate it into vSphere. Currently, there hasn't been significant progress in enabling SDRS support for CNS/CSI in vSphere due to the absence of a compelling business case. Although acknowledging its frequent request, the lack of a clear business case poses challenges in advancing this initiative. For prioritizing this task, please contact the VMware team or myself via email(sandeep.pissay-srinivasa-rao@broadcom.com).

Hello @SandeepPissay Whats your e-mail? We face this issue on near daily basis, and our only fix is to recreate PVC’s. Which isn’t really a great solution.

I assumed that everyone can see my email on my GitHub profile, maybe it is hidden? Anyways, I added my email to my previous message.
