pixielabs deploy stuck Wait for PEMs/Kelvin

Question

After installing pixielabs with the bash-installer and deploying with px deploy, this deployment got stuck (over 30min) with:

Wait for PEMs/Kelvin

After aborting I got an new namespace pl with many pods pending or in Init. But no working pixielab.

Answer 1

Check if the etcd pod in the pl namespace is in pending state.

The Pixie Command Module is deployed in the K8s cluster to isolate data storage, therefore you'll need a persistent volume in your cluster.
