Create PersistentVolumeClaim

This document provides step-by-step instructions to create a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) using the Local PV LVM storage class.It explains how to define a PVC manifest with key attributes such as the storage class name, access modes, storage size requirements, and optional VolumeAttributesClass (VAC) association for Quality of Service (QoS) configuration.

By following the example provided, you can seamlessly request storage resources that are dynamically provisioned and managed by the LVM driver.

Create a PVC​

Create a PVC using the storage class created for the LVM driver.

Example PVC

kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: csi-lvmpv
spec:
  storageClassName: openebs-lvmpv
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 4Gi

Apply the PVC configuration:

kubectl apply -f pvc.yaml

Create a PVC Using VAC​

Associate the VAC with a PVC using the volumeAttributesClassName field.

Example PVC

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: lvm-pvc
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  storageClassName: openebs-lvm
  volumeAttributesClassName: lvm-qos-high
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 5Gi

Apply the PVC configuration:

kubectl apply -f pvc.yaml
