Failed to get storage availability zone: %s

Error message

Failed to get storage availability zone: %s

What it means

Mapping the task's compute availability zone to a storage (Cinder) availability zone failed while creating a PersistentVolume. The wrapped error means the compute AZ has no matching storage AZ visible to the credentials.

Solutions

1. Compare openstack availability zone list (compute) with volume availability zones
2. Choose an availability zone where both compute and storage exist
3. Retry with the corrected AZ
