Persistent Volume

View Persistent Volumes

Click the Persistent Volume menu on the left sidebar to display the Persistent Volume page, as shown below.

The Persistent Volume page is divided into three sections:

1. Cluster Selection Area: Choose the relevant cluster.
2. Query Area: Filter the list based on name, PVC namespace, PVC name, and policy name.
3. List Area: Displays information such as PV, PVC, policy name, usage, latest update time, and available actions.

After selecting a cluster, the Persistent Volume page will look like this:

The list area is divided into five columns:

1. PV: Displays the PV name, region, capacity, and creation time.
2. Owner: Displays the department, group, and specific personnel responsible for the PV.
3. PVC: Displays the PVC namespace and name.
4. Usage: Shows the name of the optimization strategy, usage data provided by the strategy, and the last update time. Currently, the platform supports two optimization strategies: Unused PV and Underutilized PV. For the Unused PV strategy, this column will be empty.
5. Action: Lists the available actions for the Persistent Volume.

Adjusting the PV will use the cluster access account provided by the user to manage the PV in the cluster. To set up a cluster access account, refer to Setting up a cluster access account.

Note: If you choose not to delete the original persistent volume, you will need to delete it manually, or you will continue to incur costs for the persistent volume.
