kubectl directpv resume volumes

The kubectl directpv resume volumes command restores suspended volumes to normal operation. When DirectPV resumes a volume, it returns to using its allocated drive storage with read-write access.

Use this command after completing maintenance tasks or when a suspended volume’s underlying drive has been repaired.

For information on suspending volumes, see kubectl directpv suspend volumes. For information on volume operations, see Managing Volumes.

Behavior

What happens when resuming a volume?

When you resume a suspended volume:

1. DirectPV remounts the volume to use its allocated drive storage.
2. The volume returns to read-write access.
3. The Suspended flag is removed from the volume status.

Selection requirements

You must specify at least one selection method:

• One or more VOLUME arguments
• --nodes flag
• --drives flag
• --pod-names flag
• --pod-namespaces flag

When you specify multiple selection flags, DirectPV resumes only volumes that match all criteria (AND logic).

Verify volume status

After resuming, verify the volume is operational:

kubectl directpv list volumes --all

Volumes that resumed successfully no longer show the Suspended flag in their status.
