Oh yah true!
not sure “conductors” exist yet for Cinder, meaning meanwhile, every node needs a direct access to the database

I'm asking because I followed the configuration but it's not working, here is what I get: I've installed the cinder-volume at the second computer that have the HD, and I've changed it's cinder.conf. I've changed too the master's cinder.conf like is following:
