HCP replicates the associations between service plan names and tenants or namespaces but does not replicate the service plans themselves. This means that service plans with the same name can have different definitions on different systems in a replication topology. Because of this, you can optimize storage usage differently on those different systems.
If a service plan associated with a tenant or namespace is not defined on a system to which the tenant or namespace is replicated, that system uses its Default service plan for the tenant or namespace. However, the original service plan name remains associated with the tenant or namespace even though the plan is undefined.
