+Local Pool Module
+=================
+
+.. mgr_module:: localpool
+
+The *localpool* module can automatically create RADOS pools that are
+localized to a subset of the overall cluster. For example, by default, it will
+create a pool for each distinct ``rack`` in the cluster. This can be useful for
+deployments where it is desirable to distribute some data locally and other data
+globally across the cluster. One use-case is measuring performance and testing
+behavior of specific drive, NIC, or chassis models in isolation.
+
+Enabling
+--------
+
+The *localpool* module is enabled with::
+
+ ceph mgr module enable localpool
+
+Configuring
+-----------
+
+The *localpool* module understands the following options:
+
+.. confval:: subtree
+.. confval:: failure_domain
+.. confval:: pg_num
+.. confval:: num_rep
+.. confval:: min_size
+.. confval:: prefix
+ :default: by-$subtreetype-
+
+These options are set via the config-key interface. For example, to
+change the replication level to 2x with only 64 PGs, ::
+
+ ceph config set mgr mgr/localpool/num_rep 2
+ ceph config set mgr mgr/localpool/pg_num 64
+
+.. mgr_module:: None
