[Openstack] How to set up cinder with SAN

Hi Vladimir,

It seems you want vm to access storage via fibre channel.  
I did the same thing in a test environment the other day.  
I connected devices as shown in the diagram below:

You should configure all nova nodes follow this:

http://docs.openstack.org/grizzly/openstack-compute/admin/content/fibrechannel.html

and also configure cinder node like this:

http://docs.openstack.org/grizzly/openstack-block-storage/admin/content/hp-3par-driver.html

Then cinder will take over the control of disk array, create or delete volume etc.  When a 
volume attached to vm, vm can access it via fibre channel directly.

But I don't think HP p2000 is supported, check this:

Hi! Please help sort out the issue with the setting cinder and SAN. I have a SAN storage HP 
P 2000, and 10 blade servers all connected via Fibre Channel. 
I can not understand how I configure Cinder. Do I understand correctly that each Compute-
node I will have to connect the LUN. 
  
For example: 
  
compute-node-2 => LUN 10TB (+LVM); 
compute-node-3 => LUN 10TB (+LVM); 
compute-node-4 => LUN 10TB (+LVM); 
compute-node-5 => LUN 10TB (+LVM); 
  
Whether to adjust the cinder on each compute-nodes ? How then adjust cinder ins master 
node?
