The storage configuration must satisfy your sizing requirements. Different IBM Cloud Paks have different storage needs.

Important: You must define storage classes in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and set your storage configuration to satisfy your sizing requirements. Most IBM Cloud Paks require both a persistent volume in ReadWriteMany (RWX) mode, and be deployed into a persistent volume in ReadWriteOnce (RWO) mode.
