Description

ost-pools is to be fixed to be run on configuration:
MGS/MDS not combined, different nodes, configured as failover pair

Another requirement for managing OST pools is to "either have the MDT and MGS on the same node" or have a Lustre client mounted on the MGS node, if it is separate from the MDS.
