NFS back-end
------------

If the NetApp back end is configured to use an NFS storage protocol,
edit ``/etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml``, and configure
the NFS client on each storage node that will use it.

#. Add the *``cinder_backends``* stanza (which includes
   *``cinder_nfs_client``*) under the *``container_vars``* stanza for
   each storage node:

   .. code-block:: yaml

       container_vars:
         cinder_backends:
           cinder_nfs_client: 

#. Configure the location of the file that lists shares available to the
   block storage service. This configuration file must include
   *``nfs_shares_config``*:

   .. code-block:: yaml

       nfs_shares_config: SHARE_CONFIG

   Replace *``SHARE_CONFIG``* with the location of the share
   configuration file. For example, ``/etc/cinder/nfs_shares``.

#. Configure one or more NFS shares:

   .. code-block:: yaml

       shares:
          - { ip: "NFS_HOST", share: "NFS_SHARE" }

   Replace *``NFS_HOST``* with the IP address or hostname of the NFS
   server, and the *``NFS_SHARE``* with the absolute path to an existing
   and accessible NFS share.
