Binding a PVC to a local storage PV

In order to bind a PVC to a local storage PV you can do so using the following:

Steps:

  • Create a PersistantVolumeClaim object like the following, simply update the NAMESPACE to match the namespace this PVC will be created in, the NAME the name of the PVC, the SIZE the size which matches the local storage PV and finally the LOCAL_STORAGE_PV_NAME to match the local storage PV's name which you wish to bind it to.
  • Important, don't chose a local storage PV name which exists on a master node, as they are marked as unschedulable for user workloads.
