Storage Commands

v8x storage manages cluster PersistentVolumeClaims, storage system registrations, imports, and external exposes.

v8x storage
├── create          Create a PersistentVolumeClaim
├── delete          Delete a PersistentVolumeClaim
├── get             Get PersistentVolumeClaim details
├── list            List PersistentVolumeClaims
├── list-available  List available StorageClasses
├── system          Manage storage system registrations
├── import          Import storage into namespaces
└── expose          Expose cluster storage to external clients

Most storage commands take the cluster name as a positional argument. Use --namespace when the target namespace is not the default derived from your login.

PersistentVolumeClaims

Create a PVC

v8x storage create <name> <cluster-name> \
  --namespace <namespace> \
  --size 100Gi \
  --storage-class <storage-class> \
  --access-mode ReadWriteOnce

Example:

v8x storage create data-vol prod-cluster \
  --namespace alice \
  --size 100Gi \
  --storage-class rook-cephfs

Inspect PVCs

v8x storage list prod-cluster --namespace alice
v8x storage get data-vol prod-cluster --namespace alice
v8x storage list-available prod-cluster

Delete a PVC

v8x storage delete data-vol prod-cluster --namespace alice --force

Storage Systems

Storage systems register backing storage infrastructure such as CephFS or CephNFS.

Create a Storage System

v8x storage system create <name> <cluster-name> <system-type> <storage-class-name> \
  --namespace vantage-rook-ceph \
  --description "Shared CephFS" \
  --config-json '{"key":"value"}'

Example:

v8x storage system create shared-ceph prod-cluster cephfs rook-cephfs \
  --namespace vantage-rook-ceph

Manage Storage Systems

v8x storage system list prod-cluster
v8x storage system get shared-ceph prod-cluster --namespace vantage-rook-ceph
v8x storage system update shared-ceph prod-cluster --config-json '{"replicas":2}'
v8x storage system delete shared-ceph prod-cluster --force

Storage Imports

Imports make external or cross-namespace storage available as PVCs.

NFS Import

v8x storage import nfs create datasets prod-cluster nas01.internal /exports/ml-datasets \
  --namespace alice \
  --capacity 1Ti \
  --access-mode ReadWriteMany

CephFS Import

v8x storage import cephfs create shared-ceph prod-cluster shared-storage vantage-system \
  --namespace alice \
  --capacity 500Gi

Internal Cross-Namespace Import

v8x storage import internal create shared-storage prod-cluster shared-storage vantage-system \
  --namespace alice \
  --capacity 500Gi \
  --access-mode ReadWriteMany

Shared Import Commands

v8x storage import list prod-cluster --namespace alice --storage-type nfs
v8x storage import get datasets prod-cluster --namespace alice --storage-type nfs
v8x storage import delete datasets prod-cluster --namespace alice --storage-type nfs --force

The --storage-type option defaults to nfs for shared import commands.

External Exposes

Expose commands make in-cluster storage reachable from clients outside the Kubernetes cluster.

CephFS External Expose

v8x storage expose cephfs create external-cephfs prod-cluster \
  --ceph-client-name external-cephfs \
  --ceph-mds-path /volumes/csi \
  --ceph-osd-pool vantage-cephfs-data \
  --monitor-service-type NodePort

Manage the expose:

v8x storage expose cephfs get external-cephfs prod-cluster
v8x storage expose cephfs list prod-cluster
v8x storage expose cephfs status external-cephfs prod-cluster
v8x storage expose cephfs mount-commands external-cephfs prod-cluster
v8x storage expose cephfs credentials external-cephfs prod-cluster
v8x storage expose cephfs delete external-cephfs prod-cluster --force

NFS External Expose

v8x storage expose nfs create external-nfs prod-cluster shared-storage alice
v8x storage expose nfs get external-nfs prod-cluster
v8x storage expose nfs delete external-nfs prod-cluster --force

Common Options

Option	Description
--namespace	Target namespace for PVCs and imports
--json, -j	Output in JSON format
--verbose, -v	Enable verbose terminal output
--profile, -p	Profile name to use
--force	Skip confirmation prompts on delete commands

Notes

• Namespaces default to the namespace derived from your authenticated user when supported by the command.
• Storage import commands are grouped by storage type: nfs, cephfs, and internal.
• Only resources managed by Vantage storage commands should be deleted through this interface.
