View Storage Class List

This section explains how to view the storage class list.

Prerequisites

You should join a cluster and have the Storage Class Viewing permission within the cluster. For more information, refer to “Cluster Members” and “Cluster Roles”.

Steps

1. Log in to the KubeSphere web console with a user who has the Storage Class Viewing permission, and access your cluster.

2. Click Storage > Storage Classes in the left navigation pane.

   • The storage class list provides the following information:

   Parameter	Description
   Name	The name, alias, and description information of the storage class.
   Default Storage Class	The storage class is the default storage class or not. Once a default storage class is set, the system will use it to create Persistent Volume Claims if no specific storage class is designated. Only one default storage class is allowed in a KubeSphere cluster.
   PVCs	The number of Persistent Volume Claims created through the storage class.
   Volume Clone Allowed	Cloning Persistent Volumes in the KubeSphere web console is allowed or not.
   Volume Snapshot Allowed	Creating snapshots for Persistent Volumes in the KubeSphere web console is allowed or not.
   Volume Expansion Allowed	Expanding capacity of Persistent Volumes in the KubeSphere web console is allowed or not.
   Provisioner	The storage plugin used by the storage class.

   Note
   Volume Clone Allowed, Volume Snapshot Allowed and Volume Expansion Allowed simply indicate whether users are permitted to perform these operations in the KubeSphere web console. The actual support for these operations by Persistent Volume Claims depends on the backend storage system. For more information, refer to Set Volume Operations.
