Greetings,
probably I must use the same backend name for both and a cinder type
associated to it and the scheduler will use the backend with more space available ? I'm not familiar with your deployment but there's a example in the documentation that I think It may help you:
In a multiple-storage back-end configuration, each back end has a name ( volume_backend_name). Several back ends can have the same name. In that case, the scheduler properly decides which back end the volume has to be created in. i.e [1] In this configuration, lvmdriver-1 and lvmdriver-2 have the same volume_backend_name. If a volume creation requests the LVM back end name, the scheduler uses the capacity filter scheduler to choose the most suitable driver, which is either lvmdriver-1 or lvmdriver-2. The capacity filter scheduler is enabled by default. The next section provides more information. In addition, this example presents a lvmdriver-3 back end.

Hello All, I read that capacity filters for cinder is the default, so, if I understood well, a volume is placed on the backend where more space is available. Since my two backends are on storage with same features, I wonder if I must specify a default storage backend in cinder.conf or not. Must I create a cinder volume without cinder type and scheduler evaluate where there is more space available? Thanks Ignazio
