[Openstack] IO flow on multi-node setup

Volume I/O won't flow through the controller. The LVM reference driver,
for example, sets up an iSCSI target on the storage node, which the
compute node then imports. The NFS driver has the compute node mount the
exported filesystem. Depending on the driver, I/O may even flow directly
between an iSCSI or fibre-channel disk array and the compute node.

What storage backend(s) are you deploying?

In case I require any more volumes, the same are going to be provisioned by the Storage node, and then can be attached to the VM.
