# How To Use Fibre Channel Persistent Volumes The purpose of this guide is to create Persistent Volumes with Fibre Channel. It is part of [OpenShift persistent storage guide](../README.md), which explains how to use these Persistent Volumes as data storage for applications. ## Setting up Fibre Channel Target On your FC SAN Zone manager, allocate and mask LUNs so Kubernetes hosts can access them. ## Creating the PV with Fibre Channel persistent storage In the *fc* volume, you need to provide *targetWWNs* (array of Fibre Channel target's World Wide Names), *lun*, *fsType* that designates the filesystem type that has been created on the lun, and *readOnly* boolean. ## Fibre Channel Persistent Volumes Each Fibre Channel Volume becomes its own Persistent Volume in the cluster. ``` # Create the persistent volumes for Fibre Channel. $ oc create -f examples/wordpress/fc/pv-1.yaml $ oc create -f examples/wordpress/fc/pv-2.yaml $ oc get pv NAME LABELS CAPACITY ACCESSMODES STATUS CLAIM REASON AGE pv0001 <none> 1Gi RWO Available 2m pv0002 <none> 1Gi ROX Available 5s ``` Now the volumes are ready to be used by applications in the cluster.
