After you create a namespace, you can create storage volumes in the Cloud Consumption Interface, for use in deployments or in IaaS workflows.

The following procedure describes how to create a new volume associated with the namespace

  1. On the Supervisor Namespaces page, click your namespace.
  2. Under Services, click Open on the Volume service tile.
  3. On the Volume service page, cick Create.

    A wizard guides you through the process of creating a new volume.

    1. Type a name for the volume.
    2. Select the Storage Class and enter a Capacity for the volume.
    3. Select the Access Modes for the volume. The options are:
      • Read Write Once
      • Read Write Many
      Read Write Many is only supported when the vSAN file service is enabled.
    4. Click Next to review and confirm.

      The YAML code that defines the volume is displayed in the YAML section at the right side of the page. To download a zipped copy of the YAML file generated by the wizard, click the Download .Zip button.

    5. After confirming the volume configuration as shown in the YAML code, click Finish.

To see all storage classes associated with volumes on the namespace, open the Volume service tile and click the Storage Classes tab.
