## Environment

* Platform9 Managed Kubernetes - v5.4 and Higher
* Kubevirt Cluster Add-ons

## Cause

This is a known issue and Platform9 Engineering is working on the fix in KVIRT-131. Please reach out to Support to know the status of the JIRA

## Workaround

* Scale down the `pf9-addon-operator` pod:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="command" %}

```javascript
$ kubectl -n pf9-addons scale --replicas=0 deployment pf9-addon-operator
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

Remove finalizer from addon from pf9-addons namespace if kubevirt addons is stuck.
{% endhint %}

* Edit pf9-addons deployment and set `DISABLE_SUNPIKE_SYNC` value as `"true"`

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="command" %}

```javascript
$ kubectl edit deploy pf9-addon-operator -n pf9-addons
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

* Make sure the all the resources are cleaned up from `cdi` and `kubevirt` namespaces

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="command" %}

```javascript
$ kubectl get all -n cdi
$ kubectl get all -n kubevirt
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

* Once the resources are deleted scale the replica of `pf9-addon-operator` to 1 and set `DISABLE_SUNPIKE_SYNC` value as `"false"`

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="command" %}

```javascript
$ kubectl edit deploy pf9-addon-operator -n pf9-addons
$ kubectl scale --replicas=1 deployment pf9-addon-operator -n pf9-addons
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
