+      This provides a pool based on Virtuozzo storage. Virtuozzo Storage is
+      a highly available distributed software-defined storage with built-in

+      on storage management and usage.</p>
+    <h3>Example pool input</h3>
+    <p>In order to create storage pool with Virtuozzo Storage backend you
+    have to provide cluster name and be authorized within the cluster.</p>
