[Openstack-operators] Use FC disk array for storage.

Looks fine, and is what we do (we use NetApp). Assuming the goal is shared
storage, you'll need to use a cluster-aware filesystem like ocfs2 or gfs2.
We have two clusters, one using ocfs2 and one using gfs2 and the ocfs2
would cause nodes to randomly lock up and have to be rebooted every day at
4am so we switched to gfs2 for the new cluster and so far its worked well
but its only been a few months.

There are other clustered (not distributed) filesystems out there, do some
research and pick what works best for your use-case.
