Storage Operations

Portworx CSI streamlines storage provisioning for your applications by providing direct access to FlashArray or FlashBlade.

The storage backend for direct access depends on the type of system:

  • FlashArray: Raw block volumes
  • FlashBlade: Filesystems

Applications utilize these storage resources to perform read and write operations seamlessly.

To make storage available for your application, you need to create Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs). These PVCs dynamically map to FlashArray volumes or FlashBlade filesystems, and they are mounted to application pods, enabling direct read and write operations.

Refer to the sections below for detailed instructions based on your storage type.
