Identifying the Data Fabric Volume Created During Dynamic Provisioning

Describes how to find the name of the Data Fabric volume created during dynamic provisioning.

In dynamic provisioning, the provisioner creates a new Data Fabric volume with a name that is randomly generated using lower-case letters. For example, if you specify PV as the namePrefix in the StorageClass, the first dynamically created volume might be named PV.bevefsescr. If you do not specify a prefix, the provisioner uses maprprovisioner as a prefix.

To find the name of the new Data Fabric volume and the path to the volume:
  1. Use the kubectl describe command to get information about the PVC:

    kubectl describe pvc -n <namespace> <pvc-name>

    The command output shows the name of the PersistentVolume (PV) that was created: For example:

    kubectl describe pvc -n mapr-examples maprfs-secure-pvc109
Name:          maprfs-secure-pvc109
Namespace:     mapr-examples
StorageClass:  secure-maprfs
Status:        Bound
Volume:        pv-ikmqxfwtjh

  2. Use the kubectl get command and the PersistentVolume (PV) name to obtain a description of the PersistentVolume:

    kubectl get pv <pv-name> -o yaml

    The command output shows the path to the Data Fabric volume. For example:

    kubectl get pv pv-ikmqxfwtjh -o yaml
