      Describe the issue: The section "3.2. Creating an OpenShift Data Foundation Cluster for external IBM FlashSystem storage" in the External Mode doc[1] is not complete in the sense that it doesn't give all the needed details for anyone to understand what is expected from this deployment.

      [1] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_openshift_data_foundation/4.13/html/deploying_openshift_data_foundation_in_external_mode/deploy-openshift-data-foundation-using-ibm-flashsystem#creating-an-openshift-data-foundation-cluster-for-ibm-flashsystem-storage_ibmfs-external

      Describe the task you were trying to accomplish:

      • I was trying to understand the difference wrt to External ceph and Internal mode deployment
        I was trying to understand what all pods will be available after the deployment.

      Suggestions for improvement:

      • Add some details at the beginning to help the reader understand what external IBM flashsystem deployment means and how it works.
      • In the deployment procedure section, point 4 says
        --------------------------------
        i. Enter a name for the storage class.

      When creating block storage persistent volumes, select the storage class
      <storage_class_name> for best performance. The storage class allows direct I/O
      path to the FlashSystem.

      --------------------------------

      Not sure if "<storage_class_name>" needs to be replaced with the correct name. As a reader, I am expecting that but I am not sure what is technically correct here.

      • The list of pods in the section "Verification Steps" is not complete. I expect a lot many more pods to be created after storgesystem creation done in the previous step.
