+Cinder LVM2 backend with iSCSI
+------------------------------
+As of Newton-1 milestone, Kolla supports LVM2 as cinder backend. It is
+accomplished by introducing two new containers tgtd and iscsid.
+tgtd container serves as a bridge between cinder-volume process and a server
+hosting Logical Volume Groups (LVG). iscsid container serves as a bridge
+between nova-compute process and the server hosting LVG.
+
+There are two methods to apply new configuration to cinder:
+ 1 - New deployments: create cinder.conf and place it at /etc/kolla/config
+     folder, then add below configuration lines and run kolla deloyment.
+ 2 - Existing cinder deployments: modify cinder.conf located at
+     /etc/kolla/config by adding below configuration lines and run kolla
+     reconfigure.

+Where:
+
+- local_lvm_name is a name chosen by a user for a spefic LVM2 backend, multiple
+LVM2 backend can be confiugred and each should have a unique name.
+
+- lvg_name is a name Logical Volume Group created for cinder to store volumes.
+
+- management_ip_address_of_server_hosting_LVG is IP address of an interface
+where cinder process is bound to. (Do not use VIP address here, LVG does not
+move from server to server as VIP address does in case of a server failure).
+
+NOTE: For Ubuntu and LVM2/iSCSI
+
+iscsd process uses configfs which is normally mounted at /sys/kernel/config to
+store discovered targets information, on centos/rhel type of systems this special
+file system gets mounted automatically, which is not the case on debian/ubuntu.
+Since iscsid container runs on every nova compute node, the following steps must
+be completed on every Ubuntu server targeted for nova compute role.
+
+ 1 - Add configfs module to /etc/modules
+ 2 - Rebuild initramfs using: "update-initramfs -u" command
+ 3 - Make sure configfs gets mounted during a server boot up process. There are
+     multiple ways to accomplish it, one example is adding this command to
+     "mount -t configfs configfs /sys/kernel/config" to /etc/rc.local
