You're getting this message because you haven't initialized Vault yet. The first thing you'll need to do when Vault is up and running is run the command: vault operator init. If you didn't go about setting up some sort of auto unseal (which it sounds like you didn't), the default seal type is Shamir seal and Vault will give you back 5 unseal keys. Enter 3 of those keys in with the command vault operator unseal and you'll have an unsealed, working Vault instance.

Thanks Mleon. I tried, kubectl exec -ti -n -- vault operator init kubectl exec -ti -n -- vault operator unseal It works :) – Aravinda krishnan Apr 10 '23 at 10:28
