[1] Create a volume group for Cinder on Storage Node.
root@network:~#
pvcreate /dev/sdb1

Physical volume "/dev/sdb1" successfully created
root@network:~#
vgcreate -s 32M vg_volume01 /dev/sdb1

Volume group "vg_volume01" successfully created
[2] Configure Cinder Volume on Storage Node.
root@network:~#
apt -y install targetcli-fb python3-rtslib-fb
root@network:~#
vi /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
# add the value to [enabled_backends] param

enabled_backends =
lvm
# add to the end

[lvm]
target_helper = lioadm
target_protocol = iscsi
target_ip_address = $my_ip
# volume group name created on [1]
volume_group = vg_volume01
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMVolumeDriver
volumes_dir = $state_path/volumes

root@network:~#
systemctl restart cinder-volume
[3] Configure Nova on Compute Node.
root@node01:~#
vi /etc/nova/nova.conf
# add to the end

[cinder]
os_region_name = RegionOne
root@node01:~#
systemctl restart nova-compute
[4] Login as a common user you'd like to add volumes to own instances.
For example, create a virtual disk [disk01] with 10GB.
It's OK to work on any node. (example below is on Control Node)
# set environment variable

ubuntu@dlp ~(keystone)$
echo "export OS_VOLUME_API_VERSION=3" >> ~/keystonerc

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

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