Configure the cinder.conf file

In the [default] block of /etc/cinder/cinder.conf, add the following contents. volume_driver indicates the loaded driver file, and cinder_huawei_conf_file indicates the specified Huawei-customized configuration file.

volume_driver =cinder.volume.drivers.huawei.huawei_driver.Huawei18000ISCSIDriver
cinder_huawei_conf_file = /etc/cinder/cinder_huawei_conf.xml

Run the service cinder-volume restart command to restart the Block Storage service.
