Create and associate a volume with the ESM storage repository.

Restart Cinder.

# service openstack-cinder-api restart

# service openstack-cinder-scheduler restart

# service openstack-cinder-volume restart

Create a volume.

$ cinder type-create ‘volume_type_name’

where volume_type_name is the name you assign the volume. You will see output similar to the following:

+--------------------------------------+-------------+
|                ID                    |     Name    |
+--------------------------------------+-------------+
| 7fa6b5ab-3e20-40f0-b773-dd9e16778722 | JBOD-SAS600 |
+--------------------------------------+-------------+

Record the value in the ID field; you use this value in the next step.

Associate the volume type with the Storage Repository.

# cinder type-key UUID set coraid_repository_key=’FQRN’
