Work with Physical Volumes

Physical volumes provide storage for local volume groups on controller or compute hosts. You can work with them in order to configure local volume groups.

You can add, delete, and review physical volumes using the CLI or OpenStack Horizon Web interface.

To use OpenStack Horizon, select Admin > Platform > Host Inventory, and then click the host name to open the Host Details page. On the Host Details page, select the Storage tab.

Physical volumes are created on available disks or partitions. As each physical volume is created, it is included in an existing local volume group.
