I've referenced this http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/config-reference/content/vmware-vmdk-driver.html Posted a question here: https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/7728/cindervolumedriversvmwarevmdkvmwarevcvmdkdriver-where/
And I'm just unclear on how I can implement cinder volumes using VMDKs. I don't see any guides or other blog posts where this is done. I watched the Hong Kong Summit when Scott Lowe presented the functionality of cinder volumes, but I have no clue how to get this started. I also read the http://cloudarchitectmusings.com/2013/11/19/laying-cinder-block-volumes-in-openstack-part-2-integration-with-vsphere/ but again not set in stone on how to go. For testing purpose I have build a cloud controller that is currently running Keystone, Glance, Nova, Heat, Horizon, and Cinder-api/scheduler. I understand how to implement a cinder volume that is backed by LVM, but I'm not clear on how to use this with a VMDK. Where do I specify to use the vmware cinder driver, and what configuration areas I.E. nova.conf cinder.conf api-paste.ini etc do I need to get setup properly to make this magic happen? Note the volume area shows up on my Horizon Dashboard.
