<title>Configuring a Block Storage Node</title>
<para>After you configure the services on the controller node, configure a second system to be a Block Storage node. This node contains the disk that will be used to serve volumes.</para>
<para>You can configure OpenStack to use various storage systems. The examples in this guide show how to configure LVM.</para>
