Using Express to Onboard Cinder Nodes with Shared Storage Causes LVM Role Application #270

Onboarding a cinder node which is intended to be used with shared storage backend using the pf9-express tool causes the LVM role to be applied instead by default as per the link below.

I think this is expected. LVM is required for the iSCSI connection in order to leverage the shared storage path. Otherwise, you would need some other Cinder backend to support this.
