Cause

The issue is submitted as a bug #SVM-2899

Resolution

As a workaround

1. Connect to the node via SSH
2. Create a directory and change to it:

   # mkdir php
   # cd php

3. Download the php-mysql package for PHP 7.3 from official remi repository:

   # wget http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/php73/x86_64/php-mysqlnd-7.3.27-1.el7.remi.x86_64.rpm

4. Unpack the package:
   

   # rpm2cpio php-mysqlnd-7.3.27-1.el7.remi.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv

5. Create the directory for extensions:
   

   # mkdir /usr/local/svmstack/php/modules/20191201

6. Move the extension pdo_mysql.so into the created directory:
   

   # mv ./usr/lib64/php/modules/pdo_mysql.so /usr/local/svmstack/php/modules/20191201/

7. Add the following line in the PHP ini file /usr/local/svmstack/php7/php.ini:
   

   CONFIG_TEXT: extension=pdo_mysql.so
