> Without a 'Complete' status any 'Active' or 'Draining' pool(s) are not allowed to be removed once configured.

## NOTE

- Empty delete markers (such as for objects with no other successor versions) do not transition to the new pool to avoid creating empty metadata on the other pool(s). If you believe transitioning empty delete markers is required, open a GitHub issue.

## Storage usage

The selection of varying data and parity drives has a direct impact on the drive space usage. With storage class, you can optimize for high
redundancy or better drive space utilization.

To get an idea of how various combinations of data and parity drives affect the storage usage, let’s take an example of a 100 MiB file stored

[Grafana](https://grafana.com/) allows you to query, visualize, alert on and understand your metrics no matter where they are stored. Create, explore, and share dashboards with your team and foster a data driven culture.

## Prerequisites

- Prometheus and MinIO configured as explained in [document here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/metrics/prometheus/README.md).

A major advantage of certificate-based authentication compared to other STS authentication methods, like OpenID Connect or LDAP/AD, is that client authentication works without any additional/external component that must be constantly available. Therefore, certificate-based authentication may provide better availability / lower operational complexity.

## Get started

If you're aware of stand-alone MinIO set up, the process remains largely the same. MinIO server automatically switches to stand-alone or distributed mode, depending on the command line parameters.

delete marker replication and delete replication should match to avoid inconsistent picture between the clusters. It is not recommended to turn on asymmetric replication - for e.g. if three sites A,B,C are participating in replication, it would be better to avoid replication setups like A -> [B, C], B -> A. In this particular example, an object uploaded to A will be replicated to B,C. If replica metadata sync is turned on in site B, any metadata updates on a replica version made in B would reflect...
