Hello

I am using the latest minikube on a linux VPS.  
I deployed a statefulset for bitnami/mysql as follows.

$ k get sts  
NAME READY AGE  
mysql-1677811395 1/1 28h

But I can’t scale out it via either “k scale” or helm.

This is helm commands,

helm upgrade mysql-1677811395 bitnami/mysql   
–set auth.rootPassword=\*\*\*   
–set secondary.replicaCount=2

after implementation there is no pod number increased.

So how to scale bitnami/mysql statefulset?

kubectl: v1.26.1  
helm: v3.11.1

Thanks.
