I improved the cinder chapter of the installation guide as follows: 1) Renamed storage node files, titles, and XML IDs to conform with standards. 2) Rewrote introductory content to increase depth. 3) Clarified requirements for controller and storage nodes. 4) Added steps to configure storage node operating system prior to installing the volume service. 5) Rewrote LVM filter content because the original content was vague and confusing. 6) Added more command output. 7) Added 'cinder list' command to verify section. I eventually want to restructure the architecture and basic environment content to integrate organization and configuration of optional nodes. Adding steps to configure the storage node operating in this chapter temporarily fills a void.

<title>Add the Block Storage service</title>
|
|
<para>The OpenStack Block Storage service provides block storage devices
|
|
to instances using various backends. The Block Storage API and scheduler
|
|
services run on the controller node and the volume service runs on one
|
|
or more storage nodes. Storage nodes provide volumes to instances using
|
|
local block storage devices or SAN/NAS backends with the appropriate
|
|
drivers. For more information, see the
