+## Storage Class
+
+Your Kubernetes installation must either have a default storage class specified
+(see https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/storage-classes/ and https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/change-default-storage-class/)
+or you must specify the storage class for the Consul servers:
+
+```yaml
+server:
+  storageClass: your-class
+```
+
+See the [Helm reference](/docs/k8s/helm#v-server-storageclass) for that setting for more information.
