Installation of Portworx with FlashBlade

Portworx supports Pure Storage FlashBlade as a Direct Access filesystems. When a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) is created, Portworx provisions an NFS filesystem on FlashBlade, maps it to the PVC, and mounts it to the pod. Once mounted, Portworx writes data directly to FlashBlade. This approach bypasses storage pools and provides high-performance shared file storage for workloads. For more information on Direct Access volumes, see FlashBlade Direct Access.
