Hello guys,

I can control my logic that will separating AZ to Cinder for each
Department by using
@Alan Bishop <abishop at redhat.com>  method, but we need create a new volume
and adding metadata as key="RESKEY:availability_zones" and value="az_name";
and key="volume_backend_name" and value="your backend in AZ"

Thanks All for helping.
