This issue was fixed after regenerating the workload storage user password. Workload storage user that gets created as part of Supervisor cluster enablement, it's credentials was not working somehow, so regenerated the password and then the issue was resolved.

Hey Dinesh, what do you mean by "regenerating the workload storage user password"?!

Login to one of the SupervisorControlPlaneVMs and run:

kubectl rollout restart deployment vsphere-csi-controller -n vmware-system-csi

this will regenerate Workload Storage User password which is stored in vsphere-config-secret in the same namespace.

This resolved my issue with PVC not bounding to PV, which was failing to be created due to Not Authenticated error.

In my case I was creating Tanzu cluster with additional storage for containerd.
