Persistent Volume Tab

The Persistent Volume tab manages block storage for the cluster. It lists the PersistentVolumes (PVs) associated with the cluster and lets you create and delete them from the portal, while dynamic PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs) are created from inside the cluster with kubectl.

To open it, select a cluster and choose the Persistent Volume tab.

Persistent Volume List​

Each entry shows the volume's name, size, and status. To list claims from inside the cluster:

kubectl get pvc

Create a Persistent Volume​

  1. On the Persistent Volume tab, select Add Persistent Volume.
  2. Fill in the required details.
  3. Select Create to provision the volume.

Review the Audit Logs section to see the timestamp and status of the creation.

note

Sizes shown in the UI and on the bill are in GB, but Kubernetes allocates storage in GiB at creation. Decreasing the size of an existing volume is not supported - the Kubernetes API does not allow it.

Delete a Persistent Volume​

  1. Locate the volume in the list.
  2. Select Delete and confirm.
warning

Deleting a persistent volume permanently destroys all data stored in it. This cannot be undone.

The Audit Logs section records the deletion.

Dynamic Provisioning​

Dynamic provisioning creates volumes on demand when a PVC is created. At least one PersistentVolume must exist in the cluster (created from this tab) before you create a dynamic PVC.

A cluster administrator defines a StorageClass, and workloads request storage by referencing it in a PVC. For the full StorageClass and PVC manifests using the block storage CSI, see the Persistent Volumes (PV/PVC) guide.

For shared, fault-tolerant volumes backed by SFS, see Fault-Tolerant Volumes with SFS.
