+Test Soft Anti Affinity Scheduling
+    [Tags]    coretest
+    [Documentation]    Test that volumes with Soft Anti-Affinity work as expected.
+    ...
+    ...    With Soft Anti-Affinity, a new replica should still be scheduled on a node
+    ...    with an existing replica, which will result in "Healthy" state but limited
+    ...    redundancy.
+    ...
+    ...    1. Create a volume and attach to the current node
+    ...    2. Generate and write `data` to the volume.
+    ...    3. Set `soft anti-affinity` to true
+    ...    4. Disable current node's scheduling.
+    ...    5. Remove the replica on the current node
+    ...    6. Wait for the volume to complete rebuild. Volume should have 3 replicas.
+    ...    7. Verify `data`
+    Given Create volume 0 with    numberOfReplicas=3    dataEngine=${DATA_ENGINE}
+    And Attach volume 0
+    And Wait for volume 0 healthy
+    And Write data to volume 0
+
+    When Set setting replica-soft-anti-affinity to true
+    # disabling scheduling on a node only sets the node status to "Disable", not "Unschedulable"
+    # therefore disabling scheduling doesn't alter the node["conditions"]["Schedulable"]["status"] field
+    # only cordoning a node can set it to "Unschedulable"
+    And Cordon node 1
+    And Delete volume 0 replica on node 1
+
+    Then Wait until volume 0 replicas rebuilding completed
+    And Wait for volume 0 healthy
+    And Check volume 0 data is intact
