+= Converting storage classes in the {mtc-short} web console
+
+You can convert the storage class of a persistent volume (PV) by migrating it within the same cluster. To do so, you must create and run a migration plan in the {mtc-full} ({mtc-short}) web console.
+
+.Prerequisites
+
+* You must be logged in as a user with `cluster-admin` privileges on the cluster on which {mtc-short} is running.
+* You must add the cluster to the {mtc-short} web console.
+
+.Procedure
+
+. In the left-side navigation pane of the {product-title} web console, click *Projects*.
+. In the list of projects, click your project.
++
+The *Project details* page opens.
+. Click the *DeploymentConfig* name. Note the name of its running pod.
+. Open the YAML tab of the project. Find the PVs and note the names of their corresponding persistent volume claims (PVCs).
+. In the {mtc-short} web console, click *Migration plans*.
+. Click *Add migration plan*.
+. Enter the *Plan name*.
++
+The migration plan name must contain 3 to 63 lower-case alphanumeric characters (`a-z, 0-9`) and must not contain spaces or underscores (`_`).
+
+. From the *Migration type* menu, select *Storage class conversion*.
+. From the *Source cluster* list, select the desired cluster for storage class conversion.
+. Click *Next*.
++
+The *Namespaces* page opens.
+. Select the required project.
+. Click *Next*.
++
+The *Persistent volumes* page opens. The page displays the PVs in the project, all selected by default.
+. For each PV, select the desired target storage class.
+. Click *Next*.
++
+The wizard validates the new migration plan and shows that it is ready.
+. Click *Close*.
++
+The new plan appears on the *Migration plans* page.
+. To start the conversion, click the options menu of the new plan.
++
+Under *Migrations*, two options are displayed, *Stage* and *Cutover*.
++
+[NOTE]
+=====
+Cutover migration updates PVC references in the applications.
+
+Stage migration does not update PVC references in the applications.
+=====
+. Select the desired option.
++
+Depending on which option you selected, the *Stage migration* or *Cutover migration* notification appears.
+. Click *Migrate*.
++
+Depending on which option you selected, the *Stage started* or *Cutover started* message appears.
+.  To see the status of the current migration, click the number in the *Migrations* column.
++
+The *Migrations* page opens.
+. To see more details on the current migration and monitor its progress, select the migration from the *Type* column.
++
+The *Migration details* page opens.
+When the migration progresses to the DirectVolume step and the status of the step becomes `Running Rsync Pods to migrate Persistent Volume data`, you can click *View details* and see the detailed status of the copies.
+. In the breadcrumb bar, click *Stage* or *Cutover* and wait for all steps to complete.
+. Open the *PersistentVolumeClaims* tab of the {product-title} web console.
++
+You can see new PVCs with the names of the initial PVCs but ending in `new`, which are using the target storage class.
+. In the left-side navigation pane, click *Pods*. See that the pod of your project is running again.
