manila nfs dynamic provisioning not working

[sdputurn]

issue: after following the deployment guide of manila nfs CSI. and trying the dynamic_provisioning example, pvc are not woking. pvc is getting stack at:
Normal ExternalProvisioning 3m36s (x103 over 28m) persistentvolume-controller waiting for a volume to be created, either by external provisioner "nfs.manila.csi.openstack.org" or manually created by system administrator

how to reproduce:

1. follow the steps to deploy manila csi plugin. Use helm to deploy - helm install ./charts/manila-csi-plugin
2. run all yams in example folder - https://github.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-openstack/tree/master/examples/manila-csi-plugin/nfs/dynamic-provisioning
3. pvc "new-nfs-share-pvc" get stuck in pending state
4. logs in manila node plugin and controller plugin shows below error:

Hi @sdputurn, have you installed the nfs node plugin? is it in a healthy state? https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-nfs

Here's an example of how we do it in one of our CI jobs: https://github.com/theopenlab/openlab-zuul-jobs/blob/633e16a22ba24ed01a9c78804717ea0001552838/playbooks/cloud-provider-openstack-acceptance-test-csi-manila/run.yaml#L93-L142

thanks @gouthampacha after deploying nfs node plugin the manila csi services started coming up. PVC events are progressing. currently provisioning is failing due to - {"badRequest": {"code": 400, "message": "Share network must be set when the driver_handles_share_servers is true."}}

can you please help me how to fix this error?

got this fixed by adding shareNetworkID in the storageclass properties. but this parameter is given as option in the docs.

@sdputurn - yes, shareNetworkID would be required when the manila share type's driver_handles_share_servers extra-spec is set to True; i've fixed the wiki that the documentation links to call this out: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Manila/Concepts#share_network
