+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2275222 +++

In Replica-1 we support increasing the number of osds per failure domain. But even after the number of osds per failure domain is increased the data always goes to one particular osd. This results in a large imbalance of data among the osds in a failure domain.

This happens because the PG & PGP number stays at 1 always for the replica-1 pools

pool 5 'ocs-storagecluster-cephblockpool-us-east-1b' replicated size 1 min_size 1 crush_rule 8 object_hash rjenkins pg_num 1 pgp_num 1 autoscale_mode on last_change 126 flags hashpspool,selfmanaged_snaps stripe_width 0 application rbd
pool 6 'ocs-storagecluster-cephblockpool-us-east-1c' replicated size 1 min_size 1 crush_rule 10 object_hash rjenkins pg_num 1 pgp_num 1 autoscale_mode on last_change 128 flags hashpspool,selfmanaged_snaps stripe_width 0 application rbd
pool 7 'ocs-storagecluster-cephblockpool-us-east-1a' replicated size 1 min_size 1 crush_rule 13 object_hash rjenkins pg_num 1 pgp_num 1 autoscale_mode on last_change 123 flags hashpspool,selfmanaged_snaps stripe_width 0 application rbd

Is there any workaround available to the best of your knowledge?
Yes, disable the reconciliation of cephblockpool and add 
spec:
  parameters:
    pg_num: '16'
    pgp_num: '16'

This bug having no release flag set previously, is now set with release flag 'odf‑4.16.0' to '?', and so is being proposed to be fixed at the ODF 4.16.0 release. Note that the 3 Acks (pm_ack, devel_ack, qa_ack), if any previously set while release flag was missing, have now been reset since the Acks are to be set against a release flag.

The 'Target Release' is not to be set manually at the Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation product.

The 'Target Release' will be auto set appropriately, after the 3 Acks (pm,devel,qa) are set to "+" for a specific release flag and that release flag gets auto set to "+".

This BZ is being approved for ODF 4.16.0 release, upon receipt of the 3 ACKs (PM,Devel,QA) for the release flag 'odf‑4.16.0

Since this bug has been approved for ODF 4.16.0 release, through release flag 'odf-4.16.0+', the Target Release is being set to 'ODF 4.16.0
