when installing "consul" backend using Helm in kubernetes cluster, the pvc is in state "pending". However, I could create the pv,pvc manually and the status is "BOUND".

what is this error mean? Failed to provision volume with StorageClass "thin-disk": The specified datastore /kube is not a shared datastore across node VMs

The storageclass.yaml used is like below.

kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
  name: thin-disk
  annotations:
    storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class: "true"
provisioner: kubernetes.io/vsphere-volume
parameters:
    datastore: /kube 
    diskformat: thin
    fstype: ext3

While installing consul using helm, the pvc is not succssful using the storage class (above) for auto-provisioning. Then how the pvc is created manually? Do I need to modify the storageclass or anything is missing in the worker node?
