Brian Moss 9187ef1c95 [Install Guide] Block storage updates 
There is no [lvm] section in cinder.conf. The settings should
be made in [DEFAULT].

Cinder backup section relies on an Object Storage node. The
Install Guide no longer has a chapter on installing Object
Storage. Removing the optional section on Cinder backup.

Update some command output.

Block Storage service

common/get-started-block-storage.rst cinder-controller-install.rst cinder-storage-install.rst cinder-verify.rst cinder-next-steps.rst

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.

For more information, see the Configuration Reference.
