# How to Create a New Persistent Volume Claim use CLI

A **Persistent Volume Claim (PVC)** is used to request storage resources from available Persistent Volumes in a Kubernetes cluster. Once created, the PVC can be used by applications and workloads that require persistent storage. This guide explains how to create a new Persistent Volume Claim using the Kubernetes Command Line Interface (CLI).

Download the preconfigured kubeconfig file from the **Deka GPU** by clicking the following [link](/guidance-for-enterprise/deka-gpu/deka-gpu-kubernetes/dashboard/download-kube-config.md).

Install **kubectl** according to your operating system:

* If you are using Windows, click the following [link](/guidance-for-enterprise/reference/how-to-use-kubeconfig-on-windows.md).
* If you are using Linux, click the following [link](/guidance-for-enterprise/reference/how-to-use-kubeconfig-on-linux.md).

After the kubeconfig file and kubectl are available, create a YAML file for the Persistent Volume Claim by running the following command:

```bash
nano pvc.yaml
```

Add the following configuration to the `pvc.yaml` file, you can customize the **name** on line 4, **storageClassName** on line 7 with **storage-mgmt**, and the **storage size** on line 12.

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: persistentvolumeclaim-o4il3
  namespace: default
spec:
  storageClassName: manual
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 1Gi
```

{% endcode %}

Review and modify the configuration as needed:

* **name**: Specifies the name of the Persistent Volume Claim.
* **storageClassName**: Specifies the StorageClass to be used.
* **storage**: Specifies the requested storage capacity.

Save the file after completing the configuration.

Apply the configuration by running the following command:

```bash
kubectl apply -f pvc.yaml
```

Once the command is executed successfully, the Persistent Volume Claim will be created and become available for use within the Kubernetes cluster.
