PVC Events: waiting for a volume to be created, either by external provisioner "csi.vsphere.vmware.com" or manually created by system administrator

Tried to setup vsphere-CSI-driver following below documentation.

Documentation-followed: https://www.definit.co.uk/2019/06/lab-guide-kubernetes-and-storage-with-the-vsphere-cloud-provider-step-by-step/

User/Permissions associated to VSAN and VCenter are already there.

[root@sni-k8s-Test-01 ~]# kubectl get CSIDriver
NAME                     CREATED AT
csi.vsphere.vmware.com   2021-01-15T17:39:25Z
[root@sni-k8s-Test-01 ~]# kubectl get CSINode
NAME              CREATED AT
sni-k8s-test-01   2020-08-15T18:38:36Z

sni-k8s-test-03   2020-08-16T16:30:44Z

this is my storage class manifest and storage class outputs.

kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
  name: csi-sc
  annotations:
    storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class: "false"
provisioner: csi.vsphere.vmware.com
parameters:
   storagepolicyname: "k8s-view-k8s-spbm-profile"
   datastoreUrl :  "ds:///vmfs/volumes/5c8a4ebb-d030b1e9-cb39-484d7e0a2431"
[root@sni-k8s-Test-01 ~]# kubectl get sc
NAME     PROVISIONER              RECLAIMPOLICY   VOLUMEBINDINGMODE   ALLOWVOLUMEEXPANSION   AGE
csi-sc   csi.vsphere.vmware.com   Delete          Immediate           false                  4d13h

however, when i try to create a pvc, this is the following manifests and describe output associated to pvc.

[root@sni-k8s-Test-01 vmdktest]# cat example-pvc.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
