Some config in image:

Hello @miniature-yak-25686 The storage network should provide an IP to the Instance Manager and Backing Image pods. Have you checked the Instance Manager pod yaml? Please use this as a reference to check if your storage network is working. https://docs.harvesterhci.io/v1.7/advanced/storagenetwork/#post-configuration-steps

hi @many-nightfall-1806 thanks for reply. Do I need to configure a static IP address for this? I followed the instructions exactly, but I'm not receiving an IP address.

There is no need to provide static IP. The storage network feature should work as an DHCP server to provide IP to the required pods. Have you followed the post configuration steps? Is this showing you that storage network was correctly set?
