Hi Anthony, My thinking is that, when dedicating a cluster to a domain, dedication of primary storage will be taken care of.
Current proposal is to have dedicated resources at domain level. In case of accounts, we have to handle number of use cases which might be confusing.

If this happens, how does admin handle this? Can admin extend resource for this domain?
