+= Mount Persistent Volume Claims for Hazelcast clusters
+
+You can mount one or more Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) directly to your Hazelcast cluster. Each PVC defined in the `persistenceVolumeClaims` section will be mounted under the path `/data/<name-of-pvc>`. This approach allows you to use PVCs for any Hazelcast feature that requires persistent storage, simply by referencing the PVC by its name.
+
+== How it works
+
+- Define one or more PVCs in the `persistenceVolumeClaims` section of your Hazelcast custom resource (CR).
+- Each PVC will be mounted at `/data/<name>`, where `<name>` is the value of the name field in your PVC configuration.
+- Features that require persistent storage (such as diagnostics, persistence, or the CP Subsystem) can reference the PVC by specifying its name, using the appropriate field (e.g., `pvcName`).
+
+This mechanism decouples the PVC definition from feature configuration, making it easier to manage and reuse storage across different Hazelcast features.
+
+For more information, see the xref:api-ref.adoc#[API]. For a tutorial on enabling persistence, see link:https://docs.hazelcast.com/hazelcast/latest/getting-started/persistence[Persist Map Entries on Disk]
+
+== Example: Configure diagnostics with a named PVC
+
+Below is an example configuration that shows how to define a PVC and use it for diagnostics logging by specifying the `pvcName` field. The diagnostics logs will be stored in the PVC mounted at `/data/diagnostics-pvc-volume`.
