Hi,

Your backend_host doesn't have a valid hostname, please set a proper
hostname in that configuration option.

Then the next thing you need to have is the cinder-volume service
running correctly before making any requests.

I would try adding rbd_exclusive_cinder_pool=true then tailing the
volume logs, and restarting the service.

See if the logs show any ERROR level entries.

I would also check the service-list output right after the service is
restarted, if it's up then I would check it again after 2 minutes.

Cheers,
Gorka.
