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.

kubectl directpv resume volumes --nodes=node1

Optional

The name of one or more volumes to resume. Specify multiple volume names separated by spaces. Use kubectl directpv list volumes --all to find volume names.

Optional

Resume volumes on specific nodes. Specify multiple nodes as a comma-separated list or by repeating the flag. Supports ellipsis expansion notation.

Short form: -n

Optional

Resume volumes on specific drives by name. Specify multiple drives as a comma-separated list or by repeating the flag. Supports ellipsis expansion notation.

Short form: -d

Optional

Display what volumes would be resumed without making changes.

This command supports the following global flags:

Restore a specific volume to normal operation:

kubectl directpv resume volumes pvc-0700b8c7-85b2-4894-b83a-274484f220d0

Restore all suspended volumes on node1:

kubectl directpv resume volumes --nodes=node1

Resume all volumes on drive sda on node1:

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

Check which volumes would be resumed without making changes:

kubectl directpv resume volumes --nodes=node1 --dry-run

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.

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).

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.
