    Prerequisites

    • KubeSphere Storage should have been installed and enabled.

    • You should join a cluster and have the Volume Snapshot Classes Management 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 Volume Snapshot Classes Management permission, and access your cluster.

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

    3. Click Create on the page.

    4. On the Basic Information tab, set the basic information for the volume snapshot class, then click Next.

      ParameterDescription

      Deletion Policy

      The policy for handling the volume snapshot content when the volume snapshot is deleted. The deletion policy is set in the corresponding volume snapshot class.

      • Retain: The volume snapshot content is not deleted by the system after the volume snapshot is deleted.
