# Viewing storage volume details for your DB instance
<a name="rds-storage-viewing"></a>

You can view your storage volume configuration from the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI. This includes details about both your primary storage volume and any additional storage volumes attached to your DB instance.

# Console
<a name="rds-storage-viewing.console"></a>

To view your storage volume configuration from the console:

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Databases**.

1. Choose your DB instance.

1. Choose the **Configuration** tab to view details about your storage volumes. The storage information is located in the following sections:
   + **Primary storage**
   + **Additional storage volumes**

   In **Additional storage volumes**, you can choose **Add storage volume** to add another volume.

# CLI
<a name="rds-storage-viewing.cli"></a>

To view your storage volume configuration from the AWS CLI, use the `describe-db-instances` command.

```
aws rds describe-db-instances --db-instance-identifier my-database
```

In the output, find the `AdditionalStorageVolumes` array to view details for the added volumes.

```
    "AdditionalStorageVolumes": [
        {
            "VolumeName": "rdsdbdata2",
            "StorageVolumeStatus": "Not-in-use",
            "AllocatedStorage": 5000,
            "IOPS": 25000,
            "StorageThroughput": 500,
            "StorageType": "gp3"
        }
    ]
```

The `StorageVolumeStatus` field indicates whether the volume is currently in use by your database. A status of `Not-in-use` means the volume is attached but it's not in use by the database engine or an RDS feature.
