Issue deploying CSI controller - Node Metadata requirements

[leaykar]

Hey all, i was wondering what i might be missing to get file drivers working for my Self managed Openshift cluster in my IBM Cloud VPC.

What Node metadata is this requiring? I believe i have followed all the steps for labelling etc; and my cluster currently utilises IBM Block storage fine (which was deployed automatically by the openshift installer)
