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.

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 <http://docs.openstack.org/newton/config-reference/block-storage/volume-drivers.html>`_.
