How can i install and configure the cinder in controller machine?
Openstack release: Juno,
Setup Type: Two node setup (first one is controller and second one is for compute).
only one partition is created in controller side where Ubuntu i.e. openstack is already running. In another word we can say there is no separate partition created for cinder and i want to use my existing partition.
This setup was tested on RDO Juno on CentOS 7.X (it matches your requirements) :-

Actually, RH doesn't recommend thin LVMs in prod environment, what is suggested by @vincent-legoll
See details here:- https://ask.openstack.org/en/question...
Just out of curiosity, do you have any link to that RH non-recommendation ?
Default AIO packstack install does it. It was stated multiple times ( in particular on RDO mailing list ),
that thin LVM setup may serve only as POC , but never been used in real environment.
LVMiSCSI cinder back-end setup is a standard way. See links in my answer.
Instead of using a real hard disk partition, you can try with a block-device-in-a-file
# fallocate -l 1G /tmp/test.bin
# losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/test.bin
Then use loop0 instead of sdb to configure cinder... You'll have to do the losetup thing each time you reboot, though...
I have not actually tested this, but that ought to work... Please tell us if you manage to get it working.
Thanks vincent-legoll and dbaxps for your response.
I have resolve the issue by creating a logical volume in controller machine and cinder is now working fine. All the cinder services are running in controller machine.
