Hello community,

Executing the command: kubectl get eventss -w

got this events:

0s Warning FailedScheduling pod/quickstart-es-default-0 **0/3 nodes are available: 3 pod has unbound immediate PersistentVolumeClaims.**  
0s Normal FailedBinding **persistentvolumeclaim/elasticsearch-data-quickstart-es-default-0 no persistent volumes available for this claim and no storage class is set**

do I need to create pv and pvc or Need to edit the deployment. so if yo show me the commands help me a lot of.

hope your comments.

Hi @javig12, thanks for your question.

Can you show the manifest you are using (output of `kubectl get -o yaml es quickstart`)? From the error I'd guess that either the storage class you specified doesn't exist or maybe there is no (default) storage class defined? You can check both with `kubectl get sc`.

There should be no need to create PV/PVC manually nor edit the `Deployment` resource.

Your Elasticsearch resource looks fine, but the issue seems to be that there are is no storage class defined. You can read more in our [docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-volume-claim-templates.html). If you just want to get it running right now, you can consider using `emptyDir` - see the bottom of the page I've linked. Note that this is not recommended for any production use, but can unblock you until you figure out the storage class part.

Hello dkow,

Got this error now:  
`"0/3 nodes are available: 3 node(s) didn't find available persistent volumes to bind"`

So, as doc says, I've created storageclass and pv (Local Storage):

```auto

```

NAME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES RECLAIM POLICY STATUS CLAIM STORAGECLASS REASON AGE  
persistentvolume/elasticsearch 5Gi RWO Retain Available local-storage 49m  
persistentvolume/elasticsearch-data 5Gi RWO Retain Available local-storage 20h

NAME PROVISIONER RECLAIMPOLICY VOLUMEBINDINGMODE ALLOWVOLUMEEXPANSION AGE  
elasticsearch [kubernetes.io/no-provisioner](http://kubernetes.io/no-provisioner) Delete WaitForFirstConsumer false 19h  
elasticsearch-data [kubernetes.io/no-provisioner](http://kubernetes.io/no-provisioner) Delete WaitForFirstConsumer false 19h

```auto

```

So I dont know what else I need. this my storageclass:

```auto

```

apiVersion: [storage.k8s.io/v1](http://storage.k8s.io/v1)  
kind: StorageClass  
metadata:  
name: elasticsearch  
provisioner: [kubernetes.io/no-provisioner](http://kubernetes.io/no-provisioner)  
volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer

```auto

```

hope comments.  
Regards

The storage class looks fine. If the persistent volume is correct (how did you create it?), you should make sure that your Elasticsearch resource contains `volumeClaimTemplates` part and it references your storage class name (see below). I didn't see it added in the output you've posted.

```auto
spec:
  nodeSets:
  - name: default
    count: 3
    volumeClaimTemplates:
    - metadata:
        name: elasticsearch-data
      spec:
        accessModes:
        - ReadWriteOnce
        resources:
          requests:
            storage: 5Gi
        storageClassName: elasticsearch

```

Also, can you format any output using ````output goes here````? It'll be much easier to read.
