  3. In the newly created backend group section, set the following configuration options:

    [ACS5000-1]
# The driver path
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.toyou.acs5000.acs5000_iscsi.Acs5000ISCSIDriver
# Management IP of TOYOU ACS5000 storage array
san_ip = 10.0.0.10
# Management username of TOYOU ACS5000 storage array
san_login = cliuser
# Management password of TOYOU ACS5000 storage array
san_password = clipassword
# The Pool used to allocated volumes
acs5000_volpool_name = pool01
# Backend name
volume_backend_name = ACS5000
