The following table lists the available hints for the plugin:

Hint	Title	Default value	Description
`cinder`	Use Cinder with Ceph back end	`True`	Defines if Cinder will be used with Ceph back end. This is required to create a `volumes` pool by default.

Cinder requires keyrings and the contents of the Ceph configuration file, for example, ceph.conf. This plugin creates required keyrings in Ceph, creates required pools, and allows Decapod to return required files.

To integrate Cinder:

Run the plugin through the Decapod Web UI.
Obtain the required files:
```
$ decapod cluster cinder-integration a2b813b2-df23-462b-8dab-6a80f9bc7fce
```
Where a2b813b2-df23-462b-8dab-6a80f9bc7fce is the cluster ID. This command will return the contents of required files.

To obtain the files and store in the file system, use the --store option:
```
$ decapod cluster cinder-integration --store 8b205db5-3d29-4f1b-82a5-e5cefb522d4f
```
This command will output the contents of the files and store them in the file system.
