kubectl directpv resume drives

The kubectl directpv resume drives command restores suspended drives to normal operation. When DirectPV resumes a drive, its volumes return to using the actual drive storage instead of the temporary read-only mount.

Use this command after completing maintenance tasks such as drive repair.

For information on suspending drives, see kubectl directpv suspend drives.

kubectl directpv resume drives af3b8b4c-73b4-4a74-84b7-1ec30492a6f0

Resume all suspended drives on a node

Restore all suspended drives on node1 to normal operation:

kubectl directpv resume drives --nodes=node1

Resume a specific drive on a specific node

Resume drive sda on node1:

kubectl directpv resume drives --nodes=node1 --drives=sda

Preview resume operation

Behavior

What happens when resuming a drive?

When you resume a suspended drive:

1. The drive status changes from Suspended to Ready.
2. Volumes on the drive use the actual drive storage, with read-write access, the next time they are mounted.
3. Pods that are still running keep the temporary read-only directory. Restart the pods that use the drive's volumes, so they use the drive again.

Selection requirements

You must specify at least one selection method:

• One or more DRIVE_ID arguments
• --nodes flag
• --drives flag

Verify drive status

After resuming, verify the drive is operational:

kubectl directpv list drives --all

Drives that resumed successfully show Ready status without the Suspended flag.
