Creating a PVC (to be discarded)

Function

This API is used to create a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) in a specified namespace. A PVC is a request for PersistentVolume (PV). The PV carries details of real cloud storage such as EVS disks, SFS file systems, and OBS buckets. This API is to be deprecated. Use the corresponding Kubernetes PVC API instead.

The URL for storage management is in the format of https://{clusterid}.Endpoint/uri. In the URL, {clusterid} indicates the cluster ID, and uri indicates the resource path, that is, the path for API access. If https://Endpoint/uri is used, the X-Cluster-ID parameter in the request header must be specified.

URI

POST /api/v1/namespaces/{namespace}/cloudpersistentvolumeclaims

**Table 1** Path Parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
namespace	Yes	String	Namespace where the PVC is located. Constraints: Custom namespace. You must create a namespace in the cluster before using it. The namespace provided by the system is namespace default. Namespaces kube-system and kube-public cannot be used.

Request Parameters

**Table 2** Request header parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
Content-Type	Yes	String	Message body type (format).
X-Auth-Token	Yes	String	Requests for calling an API can be authenticated using either a token or AK/SK. If token-based authentication is used, this parameter is mandatory and must be set to a user token. For details, see Obtaining a User Token.
X-Cluster-ID	No	String	Cluster ID. This field is mandatory when the URL format https://Endpoint/uri is used. For details about how to obtain the value, see How to Obtain Parameters in the API URI.

**Table 3** Request body parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
apiVersion	Yes	String	API version. The value is fixed at v1.
kind	Yes	String	API type. The value is fixed at PersistentVolumeClaim.
metadata	Yes	PersistentVolumeClaimMetadata object	Cluster object metadata, which is a collection of attributes.
spec	Yes	PersistentVolumeClaimSpec object	Detailed description of the cluster object. CCE creates or updates objects by defining or updating spec.
status	No	PersistentVolumeClaimStatus object	PVC status. The request to create a PVC does not need to carry this parameter.

**Table 4** PersistentVolumeClaimMetadata
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
name	Yes	String	PVC name. Enter 1 to 253 characters starting and ending with a letter or digit. Only lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), and periods (.) are allowed. PVC names must be unique in a namespace.
labels	No	String	PVC labels, in the format of key-value pairs. Key: Enter 1 to 63 characters, starting with a letter or digit. Only letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.) are allowed. A DNS subdomain can be prefixed to a key and contain a maximum of 253 characters. Example DNS subdomain: example.com/my-key Value: The value can be left blank or contain 1 to 63 characters that start with a letter or digit. Only letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.) are allowed in the character string.

**Table 5** PersistentVolumeClaimSpec
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
volumeID	Yes	String	ID of an existing storage volume. If an SFS, EVS, or SFS Turbo volume is used, set this parameter to the ID of the volume. If an OBS bucket is used, set this parameter to the OBS bucket name.
storageType	Yes	String	Cloud storage class. This parameter is used together with volumeID. That is, volumeID and storageType must be configured at the same time. bs: EVS nfs: SFS obs: OBS efs: SFS Turbo
accessModes	Yes	Array of strings	Access mode of the volume. Only the first value in all selected options is valid. ReadWriteOnce: The volume can be mounted as read-write by a single node. NOTE: This function is supported only when the cluster version is v1.13.10 and the storage-driver version is 1.0.19. ReadOnlyMany (default): The volume can be mounted as read-only by many nodes. ReadWriteMany: The volume can be mounted as read-write by many nodes.
storageClassName	No	String	Storage class name of the PVC.
volumeName	No	String	Name of the PV bound to the PVC.
resources	No	ResourceRequirements object	Resource requests and limits.
volumeMode	No	String	PV type specified by the PVC.

**Table 6** ResourceRequirements
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
limits	No	Map<String,String>	Resource limits. This parameter is invalid during creation.
requests	No	Map<String,String>	Resource requests. This parameter is invalid during creation.

**Table 7** PersistentVolumeClaimStatus
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
accessModes	No	Array of strings	Access mode of the PV.
capacity	No	String	Actual resources and capacity of the PV.
phase	No	String	Current status of the PVC.
