+# == Defines: manila::backend::lvm
+#
+# Configures Manila to use LVM as a share driver
+#
+# === Parameters
+# [*lvm_share_export_ip*]
+#  (required) List of IPs to export shares belonging to the LVM storage driver.
+#
+# [*share_backend_name*]
+#   (optional) Name of the backend in manila.conf that these settings will
+#   reside in.
+#   Defaults to: $name
+#
+# [*driver_handles_share_servers*]
+#  (optional) Denotes whether the driver should handle the responsibility of
+#  managing share servers. This must be set to false if the driver is to
+#  operate without managing share servers.
+#  Defaults to: $::os_service_default
+#
+# [*lvm_share_export_root*]
+#  (optional) Base folder where exported shares are located.
+#  Defauls to: $::os_service_default
+#
+# [*lvm_share_mirrors*]
+#  (optional) If set, create LVMs with multiple mirrors. Note that this requires
+#  lvm_mirrors + 2 PVs with available space.
+#  Defaults to: $::os_service_default
+
+# [*lvm_share_volume_group*]
+#  (optional) Name for the VG that will contain exported shares. (string value)
+#  Defaults to: $::os_service_default
+
+# [*lvm_share_helpers*]
+#  (optional) Specify list of share export helpers. (list value)
+#  Defaults to: $::os_service_default
