Cinder Installation Guide

=========================

|
|
The Block Storage service (cinder) provides block storage devices
|
|
to guest instances. The method in which the storage is provisioned and
|
|
consumed is determined by the Block Storage driver, or drivers
|
|
in the case of a multi-backend configuration. There are a variety of
|
|
drivers that are available: NAS/SAN, NFS, iSCSI, Ceph, and more.
|
|
|
|
The Block Storage API and scheduler services typically run on the controller
|
|
nodes. Depending upon the drivers used, the volume service can run
|
|
on controller nodes, compute nodes, or standalone storage nodes.
|
