Description Guohua Ouyang 2020-10-19 05:13:01 UTC 
Description of problem:
DV/PVC is created anyway when 'Data Volume failed to initiate upload' shows on UI.

$ oc get dv

fedora32   UploadScheduled   N/A                   4m11s
$ oc get pvc

fedora32-scratch   Pending    


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
master UI

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. fill a very large pvc size and start upload
2.
3.

Actual results:
fails with error `Data Volume failed to initiate upload`, and dv/pvc is created.

Expected results:
once an error occurrs, the dv/pvc should not be created.

Additional info:
Comment 1 Tomas Jelinek 2020-10-19 07:15:26 UTC 
That is actually correct. The API is that we initiate the import by creating the DV which creates the PVC and than starts uploading into it.
And CDI is eventually consistent which means that even if it fails, it does not consider it to be a failure but keeps trying hoping that it will work out one day.
So Im afraid we can not fix this

I think customer will have the same question one day, so filed a bug here.
