Cinder is configured by changing the contents of the cinder.conf
file and restarting all of the Cinder processes. Depending on the
OpenStack distribution used, this may require issuing commands such as
systemctl openstack-cinder-api restart or
systemctl cinder-api restart.
The cinder.conf file contains a set of configuration options (one
per line), specified as option_name=value. Configuration options
are grouped together into a stanza, denoted by [stanza_name]. There
must be at least one stanza named [DEFAULT] that contains
configuration parameters that apply generically to Cinder (and not to
any particular backend). Configuration options that are associated with
a particular Cinder backend should be placed in a separate stanza.
Note
While it is possible to specify driver-specific configuration
options within the [DEFAULT] stanza, you are unable to define
multiple Cinder backends within the [DEFAULT] stanza. NetApp
strongly recommends that you specify driver-specific configuration
in separate named stanzas, being sure to list the backends that
should be enabled as the value for the configuration option
enabled_backends; for example:
enabled_backends=myNfsBackend,myIscsiBackend,myFCBackend,myESeriesBackend
The enabled_backends option should be specified within the
[DEFAULT] configuration stanza.
