# Predefined Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The only way to use a pre-created PVC is to name them in the format Kubernetes expects:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
data-<kubernetes namespace>-<helm release name>-consul-server-<ordinal>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Kubernetes namespace you are installing into, Helm release name, and ordinal
|
||
|
|
must match between your Consul servers and your pre-created PVCs. You only
|
||
|
|
need as many PVCs as you have Consul servers. For example, given a Kubernetes
|
||
|
|
namespace of "vault," a release name of "consul," and 5 servers, you would need
|
||
|
|
to create PVCs with the following names:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
data-vault-consul-consul-server-0
|
||
|
|
data-vault-consul-consul-server-1
|
||
|
|
data-vault-consul-consul-server-2
|
||
|
|
data-vault-consul-consul-server-3
|
||
|
|
data-vault-consul-consul-server-4
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are using your own storage, you'll need to configure a storage class. See the
|
||
|
|
documentation for configuring storage classes [here](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/storage-classes/).
