[OKD] kubectl directpv list drives - No drives are available to initialize

[parseltongued]

Describe the bug
kubectl directpv list drives - timeout and shows No drives are available to initialize

kubectl directpv list drives
ERROR unable to complete the discovery; context deadline exceeded
No drives are available to initialize

To Reproduce
Installed direct-pv driver via legacy yaml and applied successfully.

On VSphere, I've mounted an unformatted 1TB hard disk on all 3 master nodes:

lsblk shows 1TB drive as /sdb as expected

Executed the following commands:

kubectl directpv list drives
ERROR unable to complete the discovery; context deadline exceeded
No drives are available to initialize

kubectl directpv list drives --drives=sdb
ERROR unable to complete the discovery; context deadline exceeded
No drives are available to initialize

Expected behavior
kubectl directpv list drives should show 3 master nodes and sdb drive

Screenshots and logs
StorageClasses installed post directpv driver installation

Interestingly kubectl directpv info shows ERROR DirectPV not installed

You should attach drives to nodes, not format/mount them.
