<p>I used this command to start my statefulset:</p>

<pre><code>kubectl scale statefulset my-set --replicas=1
</code></pre>

<p>But pod is not running.</p>

<p>How could I start pod with existing stateful set "my-set"?</p>

<p>You can scale a statefulset in different ways:</p>

<pre><code>kubectl scale --replicas=1 statefulset/my-set

kubectl scale sts my-set --replicas=1

kubectl patch sts my-set -p '{"spec":{"replicas":1}}'
</code></pre>
