The following procedure adds a server pool to an existing MinIO AIStor cluster running on Kubernetes infrastructure. Each pool expands the total available storage capacity of the cluster with new nodes and persistent volumes while maintaining the overall availability of the cluster. Pay particular attention to the parity (EC:M) value of the existing cluster and the new pool. MinIO strongly recommends seeking an architecture review from MinIO Engineering through SUBNET to analyze potential performance impacts before committing to a new pool for your cluster.
