+    The Cinder Backup service can be switched from running active/passive
+    under pacemaker, to active-active mode where it runs simultaneously on
+    every node on which it's deployed. Note that the service will be restarted
+    when switching modes, which will interrupt any backup operations currently
+    in progress.
