Cluster creation got stuck while specifying the service type as NodePort

[lehy786]

What version of redis operator are you using?

kubectl logs <_redis-operator_pod_name> -n <namespace>

redis-operator version: v0.19.0

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release? yes

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (kubectl version)?

kubectl version Output

$ kubectl version
v1.28.13

What did you do?

1. define RedisCluster

cluster-define.yaml:

---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: redisot-additional-config
  namespace: mdw-sproject-operators
data:
  redis-additional.conf:
    cluster-config-file /data/nodes.conf

---
apiVersion: vl
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: redisot-secret
  namespace: mdw-sproject-operators
data:
  password: bWR3QDIWMiAK
type: 0paque

---
apiVersion: redis.redis.opstreelabs.in/vlbeta2
kind: RedisCluster
metadata:
  name: redisot
  namespace: mdw-sproject-operators
spec:
  clusterSize: 3
  clusterVersion: v7
  podSecurityContext:
    runAsUser: 1000
    fsGroup: 1000
  persistenceEnabled: true
  kubernetesConfig:
    image: registry.oa.xxxx.com/fdm-mdw/opstree/redis:v7.0.15
    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
    redisSecret:
      name: redisot-secret
      key: password
    service:
      serviceType: NodePort
  redisExporter:
    enabled: false
    image: registry.oa.xxxx.com/fdm-mdw/opstree/redis-exporter:v1.44.0
  redisLeader:
    redisConfig:
      additionalRedisconfig: redisot-additional-config
  redisFollower:
    redisConfig:
      additionalRedisconfig: redisot-additional-config

2. start cluster

kubectl apply -f cluster-define.yaml

What did you expect to see? Cluster start up normally with 3 masters and 3 slaves. And each node can interact with others.

What did you see instead? Cluster start up with 6 orphan masters. The cluster is not formed.

I've got the below log once, and never reproduce it again:
