Storing objects on extended storage tiers

Each extended storage pool consists of one or more extended storage component access points (mount points, buckets, or containers) that are used to access the same type of extended storage. To store objects in a given extended storage pool, HCP uses all of the storage that’s accessed using all of the extended storage component access points that are contained in that pool. You can add access points to an extended storage pool at any time, thereby increasing the capacity of the pool.

The service plan for a namespace defines one or more storage tiers for that namespace, and specifies the rules that determine which tier is used to store each object in that namespace at any given point in the object lifecycle. Each extended storage tier that’s defined for a namespace typically consists of only one extended storage pool, but a tier can be configured to use multiple storage pools. To store objects on a given extended storage tier, HCP uses all of the storage that’s accessed using the extended storage component access points contained in the storage pools that are configured for that tier.
