Hi Eduard,

What extra_specs do you configured in this volume_type?
Yes you can force a volume to an specific node, or backend. You must
configure the volume_backend_name on cinder.conf, and add an extra spec
"volume_backend_name='same_as_in_cinder_conf'" on the volume type  you
created.

For example:
[lvm1]
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMVolumeDriver
volume_backend_name = lvm

[lvm2]
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMVolumeDriver
volume_backend_name = lvm

Then:
cinder type-create lvm
$ cinder type-key lvm_node set volume_backend_name=lvm
