It's possible to use Virtual Storages provided by Cinder if an Instance needs more disks.
Configure Virtual storage with NFS backend on here.

[1]
NFS server is required to be running on your LAN, refer to here.
On this example, configure [/var/nfs-share] directory on "nfs.srv.world" as a shared directory.
[2] Configure Storage Node.
root@storage:~#
apt-get -y install nfs-common
root@storage:~#
vi /etc/idmapd.conf
# line 6: uncomment and change to the own domain name

Domain =
srv.world
root@storage:~#
vi /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
# add follows in the [DEFAULT] section

enabled_backends = nfs
# add follows to the end

[nfs]
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.nfs.NfsDriver
nfs_shares_config = /etc/cinder/nfs_shares
nfs_mount_point_base = $state_path/mnt
root@storage:~#
vi /etc/cinder/nfs_shares
# create new : specify NFS shared directory

nfs.srv.world:/var/nfs-share
root@storage:~#
chmod 640 /etc/cinder/nfs_shares

root@storage:~#
chgrp cinder /etc/cinder/nfs_shares

root@storage:~#
systemctl restart cinder-volume

root@storage:~#
chown -R cinder. /var/lib/cinder/mnt
[3] Change Nova settings on Compute Node to mount NFS.
root@node01:~#
apt-get -y install nfs-common
root@node01:~#
vi /etc/idmapd.conf
# line 6: uncomment and change to the own domain name

Domain =
srv.world
root@node01:~#
vi /etc/nova/nova.conf
# add follows in the end

[cinder]
os_region_name = RegionOne
root@node01:~#
systemctl restart nova-compute
[4] For example, create a virtual disk "disk01" with 10GB. It's OK to work on any node. (This example is on Control Node)
# set environment variable first

root@dlp ~(keystone)#
echo "export OS_VOLUME_API_VERSION=2" >> ~/keystonerc

root@dlp ~(keystone)#
source ~/keystonerc
root@dlp ~(keystone)#
openstack volume create --size 10 disk01

[5] Attach the virtual disk to an Instance.
For the exmaple below, the disk is connected as "/dev/vdb". It's possible to use it as a storage to create a file system on it.
