[2] Set idmapd
[root@dlp ~(keystone)]#
vi /etc/idmapd.conf
# line 5: uncomment and chnage your domain name

Domain =
srv.world
[root@dlp ~(keystone)]#
/etc/rc.d/init.d/rpcidmapd restart

Stopping RPC idmapd: [ OK ]
Starting RPC idmapd: [ OK ]
[3] Configure Cinder
[root@dlp ~(keystone)]#
vi /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
# near line 11: add follows

volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.nfs.NfsDriver
nfs_shares_config = /etc/cinder/nfs.shares
nfs_mount_point_base = /var/lib/cinder/mnt
[root@dlp ~(keystone)]#
vi /etc/cinder/nfs.shares
# create new : specify NFS shared directory

10.0.0.100:/storage
[root@dlp ~(keystone)]#
chgrp cinder /etc/cinder/nfs.shares

[root@dlp ~(keystone)]#
mkdir /var/lib/cinder/mnt

[root@dlp ~(keystone)]#
chown cinder. /var/lib/cinder/mnt

[root@dlp ~(keystone)]#
/etc/rc.d/init.d/openstack-cinder-volume restart

Stopping openstack-cinder-volume: [ OK ]
Starting openstack-cinder-volume: [ OK ]
[4] For example, create a volume named "disk01", 10GB.
[root@dlp ~(keystone)]#
cinder create --display_name disk01 10
