Note

	Note
This scenario configures OpenStack Block Storage services on the Controller node and assumes that a second node provides storage through the `cinder-volume` service. For instructions on how to configure the second node, see the section called “Configure a Block Storage service node”.

This scenario configures OpenStack Block Storage services on the Controller node and assumes that a second node provides storage through the cinder-volume service.

For instructions on how to configure the second node, see the section called “Configure a Block Storage service node”.

You can configure OpenStack to use various storage systems. This example uses LVM.

Install the appropriate packages for the Block Storage service:
```
# apt-get install cinder-api cinder-scheduler
```
Respond to the prompts for database management, [keystone_authtoken] settings, RabbitMQ credentials and API endpoint registration.

Edit the /etc/cinder/cinder.conf configuration file and add this section for keystone credentials:

...
[keystone_authtoken]
auth_uri = http://controller:5000
auth_host = controller
auth_port = 35357
auth_protocol = http
admin_tenant_name = service
admin_user = cinder
admin_password = CINDER_PASS
