This would indicate that something went awry during the attachment process (hence the volume never goes to state attached/in-use).

Please can you confirm which version of OpenStack you are deploying, and which Hypervisor you are using - e.g. KVM or LXD.

There was a change for Ocata that requires an additional relation between the cinder-ceph and nova-compute applications, and the LXD hypervisor does not support Ceph/Cinder block devices until OpenStack pike.

Marking incomplete/low for now; please update with the requested details and set back to 'New'.
