How can we use Cinder to attach volumes to physical server? Can Cinder and Ironic finish the job and how?
Yes, via nfs and glusterfs. Or even using ceph. I even tried iscsi connected to hyper-v, you can use this one . Via nfs you can append /etc/cinder/cinder.conf at the last
[nfs]
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.nfs.NfsDriver
volume_backend_name=NFS
nfs_shares_config=/etc/cinder/nfs_shares
nfs_mount_point_base=/var/lib/cinder/nfs
and put enabled_backends=lvm,nfs
and volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.nfs.NfsDriver
while the content of your file,
/etc/cinder/nfs_share
is on the ff format
(server_name or fqdn):/(shared_folder_name) example tahder:/xunil
besure to define also lvm in the enable_backends or you may omit it if not using lvm.
Thank you for your quick answer! Do you mean we can use physical server's storage as the backend of Cinder service? But my real question is now we have a physical server, the physical server is not the instance of the Openstack, how can we use Cinder service to add storage to this physical server?

My real question is now we have a physical server, the physical server is not the instance of the Openstack, how can we use Cinder service to add storage to this physical server?
