If you have a disk or partition that you can use to create that volume group then it might very well start working.

Hi Eric,

Output of pvscan throws - "No matching physical volumes found"

Where else can I see ?

Does pvscan show any disks assigned to the "cinder-volumes" volume group on any of your cinder nodes?  That's the default volume group used for new volume creation.

Subject: [Openstack] [Grizzly] Unable to create volumes

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):

    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 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1078353

Thank you,
