Reclaim PVs

Nebula Operator uses PVs (Persistent Volumes) and PVCs (Persistent Volume Claims) to store persistent data. If you accidentally deletes a Nebula Graph cluster, PV and PVC objects and the relevant data will be retained to ensure data security.

You can define whether to reclaim PVs or not in the configuration file of the cluster's CR instance with the parameter enablePVReclaim.

If you need to release a graph space and retain the relevant data, update your nebula cluster by setting the parameter enablePVReclaim to true.

Prerequisites

You have created a cluster. For how to create a cluster with Kubectl, see Create a cluster with Kubectl.

Steps

The following example uses a cluster named nebula to show how to set enablePVReclaim:

  1. Run the following command to access the edit page of the nebula cluster.

    kubectl edit nebulaclusters.apps.nebula-graph.io nebula
    
  2. Add enablePVReclaim and set its value to true under spec.

    apiVersion: apps.nebula-graph.io/v1alpha1
    kind: NebulaCluster
    metadata:
      name: nebula
    spec:
      enablePVReclaim: true  //Set its value to true.
