3. Add ibmnas flags in cinder.conf: cookbook-openstack-block-storage/templates/default/cinder.conf.erb
4. Create a new tempate for nfs shares (/templates/default/nfs_shares.conf.erb) which will be updated to contain nas_access_ip/hostname, share path
5. Update cookbook-openstack-block-storage/README.md.
