Advanced

For the Advanced User Flow, follow all steps of Auto-Provisioning, click on Create PVC in QUICK START> Add Volume and then give the PVC a name, define the volume size and select the associated Policy.

Next, click on ADVANCED, and configure the following additional settings:

File System Mount: Block for raw block device or File to create an XFS Filesystem.

Region: Cloud region for media node serving the volume, such as East US.

Zones: A zone from which media will be allocated for the volume. It is expected that the volume will be attached to a node from the same zone, for optimal performance. If your policy defines Zone Resiliency, Volumez will automatically choose and allocate media on additional zones.

VPC: Cloud availability zones for the media node serving the volume.

Subnets

Use the YAML file in your Kubectl by using the apply -f command.

If the volumeBindingMode is Immediate, the PV will be allocated as soon as the PVC is submitted.

Wait for about 3 minutes. You can track the progress in the Volumez Portal in Status> Jobs

The PVC has now been created.

If the configured volumeBindingMode is WaitForFirstConsumer, the CSI will allocate the PV when the first application to be served is identified.
