of common SLA here original cluster had 1024 drives with 16 drives per erasure set with default parity of '4', second pool is expected to have a minimum of 8 drives per erasure set to match the original cluster SLA (parity count) of '4'. '12' drives stripe per erasure set in the second pool satisfies the original pool's parity count.
