Warning

For security reasons Service Tokens must be configured in OpenStack for Cinder to operate securely. Pay close attention to the specific section describing it:. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2004555 for details.

Note

The examples of common configurations for shared service and libraries, such as database connections and RPC messaging, can be seen in Cinder’s sample configuration file: cinder.conf.sample.

The Block Storage service works with many different storage drivers that you can configure by using these instructions.
