Creating Portworx storage classes

If you decide to use Portworx as your storage option, Cloud Pak for Data requires the following storage classes. You can create them manually.

Before you begin

Required role: To complete this task, you must be a cluster administrator.

Ensure that you have a minimum of 1 TB of raw, unformatted disk on every compute node that is designated for storage. The raw disk must have the same device name on all of the worker nodes.
