Jean-Philippe Evrard de4ca4c318 More complete explanation of availability zones
If you follow the documentation, you'll define
the "cinder_default_availability_zone" in your
openstack_user_config

If you aren't in AIO this is gonna cause you
issues (horizon fails to create volume in
"Any availability zone")

This clears the things up.

Availability zones
------------------
Multiple availability zones can be created to manage Block Storage
storage hosts. Edit the
``/etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml`` and
``/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml`` files to set up
availability zones.
#. For each cinder storage host, configure the availability zone under
the ``container_vars`` stanza:
.. code-block:: yaml
cinder_storage_availability_zone: CINDERAZ
Replace *``CINDERAZ``* with a suitable name. For example
*``cinderAZ_2``*
#. If more than one availability zone is created, configure the default
availability zone for all the hosts by creating a
``cinder_default_availability_zone`` in your
``/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml``
.. code-block:: yaml
cinder_default_availability_zone: CINDERAZ_DEFAULT
Replace *``CINDERAZ_DEFAULT``* with a suitable name. For example,
*``cinderAZ_1``*. The default availability zone should be the same
for all cinder hosts.
If the ``cinder_default_availability_zone`` is not defined, the
default variable will be used (nova). This could make horizon's
volume creation fail.
