If you are not familiar with the oc command, refer to OpenShift - Getting Started with the oc command.

A persistent volume (PV) is the "physical" volume (such as a hard disk drive or solid state drive) on the host machine (node) that stores your persistent data, whereas a persistent volume claim (PVC) is a reference to a persistent volume, used by a pod.

The oc get persistentvolumeclaims (or oc get pvc) command will return the list of Persistent Volume Claims. 

TIP

The -A or --all-namespaces flag can be used to list the Persistent Volume Claims in every project / namespace.

The -n or --namespace flag can be used to list the Persistent Volume Claims in a certain project / namespace.

Access Modes can be one or more of the following:

• ReadWriteOnce (RWO) - The volume may only be mounted on a single node
• ReadWriteOncePod (RWOP) - The volume may only be mounted on a single pod
• ReadOnlyMany (ROX) - The volume may be mounted on different nodes
• ReadWriteMany (RWX) - The volume can be mounted on different nodes

~]$ oc get pvc
NAME          STATUS   VOLUME                                     CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS   AGE
my-pvc-1       Bound    pvc-385996a0-70af-4791-aa8e-9e6459e6b123   1Gi        RWO            file-storage   659d
my-pvc-2       Bound    pvc-8aeddd4d-aad5-4039-8d04-640a71c9a72d   10Gi       RWO            file-storage   659d
my-pvc-3       Bound    pvc-0050144d-940c-4c4e-a23a-2a660a5490eb   10Gi       RWO            file-storage   659d

Or a single persistent volume claim can be returned.

~]$ oc get pvc pvc001
NAME          STATUS   VOLUME                                     CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS   AGE

The --output wide option can be used to include VOLUMEMODE in the output.

~]$ oc get pvc --output WIDE
NAME          STATUS   VOLUME                                     CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS   AGE     VOLUMEMODE

my-pvc-2      Bound    pvc-8aeddd4d-aad5-4039-8d04-640a71c9a72d   10Gi       RWO            file-storage   659d    Filesystem

The -A o --all-namespaces flag can be used to return every persistent volume claim in every namespace.

oc get pvc --all-namespaces

The oc describe pvc command can be used to display the details of a Persistent Volume Claim. In this example, the details of the pvc001 Persistent Volume Claim will be displayed.

~]$ oc describe pvc my-pvc-1
Name:          my-pvc-1
Namespace:     foo
StorageClass:  file-storage
Status:        Bound

Annotations:   pv.kubernetes.io/bind-completed: yes
               pv.kubernetes.io/bound-by-controller: yes
               volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-provisioner: csi.trident.netapp.io

Capacity:      1Gi
Access Modes:  ROX,RWX

Or, the oc get pvc command with the --output json​ or --output yaml option can be used.

~]$ oc get pvc my-pvc-1 --output json

The --output jsonpath option can be used to print the value of a specific JSON key.

~]$ oc get pvc my-pvc-1 --output jsonpath={.spec.resources.requests.storage}
