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"
        }
    ]
```
