+    <para>When creating Block Storage volumes from images, also consider your
+      configured image properties. If you alter the core image properties, you
+      should also update your Block Storage configuration. Amend
+        <option>glance_core_properties</option> in the
+        <filename>/etc/cinder/cinder.conf</filename> file on all controller
+      nodes to match the core properties you have set in the Image
+      service.</para>
