20+ practice questions focused on Storage And Persistent Volumes — one of the most tested topics on the Red Hat Certified OpenShift Administrator (EX280, OpenShift Container Platform 4.14+) (EX280) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Storage And Persistent Volumes PracticeYou are creating a StorageClass and want to ensure that PersistentVolumes created by it are only deleted when the PVC is explicitly deleted, rather than retaining them. Which parameter should you set?
Explanation: The reclaimPolicy field in a StorageClass controls what happens to the underlying PV when its PVC is deleted. Setting it to Retain ensures data persistence.
Which object acts as a cluster-scoped abstraction that defines and parameterizes the type of storage (such as provisioner, parameters, and reclaim policy) that can be dynamically provisioned in OpenShift?
Explanation: A StorageClass defines the provisioner and parameters used to dynamically provision PersistentVolumes.
You are troubleshooting a PVC that remains unbound. You run 'oc describe pvc my-pvc' and see that the storageClassName is set to a class that was recently deleted. What is the correct way to fix this?
Explanation: PVCs cannot have their storageClassName mutated once created. The correct procedure is to delete the PVC and recreate it referencing a valid, existing StorageClass.
Which TWO conditions must be met for a PVC to successfully bind to a dynamically provisioned PersistentVolume?
Explanation: The PVC and PV must match in storage class, requested size/access modes, and volume mode compatibility.
Which THREE tasks must an administrator perform to enable volume snapshots in an OpenShift cluster using a CSI driver that supports snapshots?
Explanation: Enabling snapshots requires installing the Volume Snapshot CRDs, deploying the external snapshot controller operator/controller, and creating a VolumeSnapshotClass.
