[1]
For LVM backend on this example, use a volume group [vg_volume01] for it.
[2]
NFS server is required to be running on your local network, refer to here.
On this example, configure [/var/lib/nfs-share] directory on [nfs.srv.world] as a shared directory.
[3] Configure Storage Node.

apt -y install nfs-common

root@network:~#
chgrp cinder /etc/cinder/nfs_shares

root@network:~#
systemctl restart cinder-volume

root@network:~#
chown -R cinder. /var/lib/cinder/mnt_nfs
[4] Configure Compute Node.
root@node01:~#
apt -y install nfs-common
root@node01:~#
vi /etc/idmapd.conf
# line 5 : uncomment and change to your domain name

Domain =
srv.world

[5] Create volume types. It's OK to work on any node. (example below is on Control Node)
