Block pools

This section provides you with information about how to configure block pools in internal mode.

The Fusion Data Foundation operator installs a default set of storage pools depending on the platform in use. These default storage pools are owned and controlled by the operator and it cannot be deleted or modified. With OpenShift Container Platform, you can create multiple custom storage pools which map to storage classes that provide the following features:

• Enable applications with their own high availability to use persistent volumes with two replicas, potentially improving application performance.
• Save space for persistent volume claims using storage classes with compression enabled.
