[Openstack-operators] Cannot delete a cinder volume; alternative manual procedure ?

I'm guessing that you are probably using multiple cinder-volume services to
manage the glusterfs volumes. If this is the case, and you didn't set
'host' in cinder.conf to a common name between the cinder-volume services
then you can end up in a case where you can't delete a volume because the
registered 'host' is offline or no longer around.
