+    Add new CinderRbdExtraPools Heat parameter, which specifies a list of
+    Ceph pools for use with RBD backends for Cinder. An extra Cinder RBD
+    backend driver is created for each pool in the list. This is in addition
+    to the standard RBD backend driver associated with the CinderRbdPoolName.
+    The new parameter is optional, and defaults to an empty list. All of the
+    pools are associated with a single Ceph cluster.
