Description Ryan Howe 2016-04-18 22:14:04 UTC 
Description of problem:

  - At this time we require many steps to ensure a PVC is assigned to specific PV.  We are requesting that a PVC can be created with an identifier that attaches it to a specific PV. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.1.1.6

Step 1  - Create a PVC 

Step 2  - Take note of the uid,name and namespace of the newly created PVC. 

Step 3  - Create or Edit a PV adding  pv.Spec.ClaimRef 

 ~~
 apiVersion: v1
 kind: PersistentVolume
  spec  
    claimRef:
      name: my-pvc
      namespace: default
      uid: 36b6bc2d-05a9-11e6-8fcc-fa163eec34c3
 ~~

Step 4 - Edit the pvc.Spec.VolumeName to reference the PV. After doing this you will see the PVC bound to the PV 

Step 5 - Scrub the data from pv.Spec.ClaimRef of the first PV that the PVC originally bound to.
