Okay, that is something for the LINSTOR people to look into. Maybe that
happend because of the "linstor-server" vs.
"linstor-controller/linstor-satellite" confusion and the according
service was not started there.

No. The plugin creates the storage exactly once, after that it only
creates/removes diskless assignments. When it creates the volume, it
uses "--auto-place". This is clever enough to look through your pools
and take the one (per node) that fits best. We assume you only have one
 per node in a Proxmox setup. If you have multiple, one will be chosen.

If you do the resource creation manually (which you did in the second
step), then LINSTOR wants to know the storage pool. But "manual
assignment" and using "--auto-place" are different things.
