Creating a PersistentVolume

Function

This API is used to create a PersistentVolume associated with cloud storage (for example, EVS, SFS, and OBS). This API has been deprecated. Use the corresponding Kubernetes PV API instead.

The format of the storage management URL is https://{clusterid}.Endpoint/uri. In the URL, {clusterid} indicates a 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 must be specified in the request header.

URI

POST /api/v1/cloudpersistentvolumes

Request

Table 1 Request header parameter description

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

Content-Type

Yes

String

Message body type (format).

Possible values:

  • application/json;charset=utf-8
  • application/json

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 on how to obtain a user token, see Authentication.

Maximum length: 16,384 characters

X-Cluster-ID

No

String

Cluster ID. This parameter 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 2 Request body parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

apiVersion

Yes

String

API version. The value is fixed to v1.

Default value: v1

kind

Yes

String

API type. The value is fixed to PersistentVolume.

Default value: PersistentVolume

metadata

Yes

PersistentVolumeMetadata object

PersistentVolume metadata information.

spec

Yes

PersistentVolumeSpec object

PersistentVolume specifications.

status

No

PersistentVolumeStatus object

PersistentVolume status information.

Table 3 PersistentVolumeMetadata

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

name

Yes

String

PV name. Enter 1 to 253 characters starting and ending with a letter or digit. Only lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), and periods (.) are allowed. PV names must be unique in a namespace.

labels

No

Map<String,String>

PV 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 1 to 63 characters, starting with a letter or digit. Only letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.) are allowed in the character string.

Example label: "foo": "bar"

Table 4 PersistentVolumeSpec

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

flexVolume

Yes

FlexVolume object

FlexVolume storage plug-in of Kubernetes.

persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy

No

String

PV reclaim policy. Possible values:

  • Retain: The Retain reclaim policy allows for manual reclamation of the resource. When the PVC is deleted, the PV still exists and the volume is considered "released".
  • Recycle: The Recycle reclaim policy performs a basic scrub (rm -rf / thevolume / *) on the volume and makes it available again for a new claim.
  • Delete: For volume plug-ins that support the Delete reclaim policy, deletion removes both the PV object from Kubernetes, as well as the associated storage asset in the external infrastructure. Volumes that were dynamically provisioned inherit the reclaim policy of their StorageClass, which defaults to Delete.

accessModes

Yes

Array of strings

Access mode of the PersistentVolume.

  • 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: The volume can be mounted as read-only by many nodes.
  • ReadWriteMany: The volume can be mounted as read-write by many nodes.
