When configuring ODF through Satellite, it would be great to have the assignment automatically label the storage nodes correctly so other workloads outside of ODF do not run there.

Today when using Satellite, if you want to setup storage nodes so they are separate from application nodes, you have to perform a config, then assignment, and then you will have to run a script on the cluster to label/taint the nodes correct as described in the RedHat documentation.   If you do this step first, then ODF can't deploy,   This really causes confusion in the field where Satellite is used to automatically setup ROKS+ODF+Cloud Paks.  The assignment should have an option to "do the right thing" if the customer wants to keep ODF and Cloud Paks separate in terms of which worker nodes PODs get deployed into.   This should also work correctly if I edit the Satellite config and add new/remove Storage nodes.

    Is a workaround to create two worker pools -One for ODF and One for Applications and ensure Apps are bound to the application worker pool?
