Hi folks,

Am all set to launch an instance after getting good
response from this mailing list for most of my queries.
I am now facing issues in creating volumes from the
dashboard. Here is volume log file for reference :

2013-05-09 15:24:49    ERROR [cinder.service] Unhandled exception
Traceback (most recent call last):

line 78, in check_for_setup_error
    raise exception.VolumeBackendAPIException(data=exception_message)
VolumeBackendAPIException: Bad or unexpected response from the storage
volume backend API: volume group cinder-volumes doesn't exist

It says - volume group cinder-volume does not exist.
But /etc/cinder/cinder.conf has volume group set to cinder-volumes.
Here is a snippet of cinder.conf :
[..]
verbose=False
rabbit_port=5672
rabbit_password=
volume_group=cinder-volumes
rabbit_host=127.0.0.1
iscsi_ip_address=192.168.105.67
[..]

Any pointers on how to trouble shoot this issue.
I have also followed this bug -

Thank you,
