There is a validation for selecting cinder backend - but it happens only on the page of the wizard when user suppose to choose the backend - in-case the user jumps to another page and go back to the deployment - he can avoid this validation and wizard is remain uncompleted. Steps : (1) Create new deployment using the 'new deployment' wizard . (2) from the page when the user suppose to choose backend for cinder - don't select cinder backend - go to any another page (for example : hosts --> provision templates) (3) Go to OpenStack-Installer --> deployment --> choose the created deployment. (4) Assign hosts and start the deployment. results : --------- - No notification for not selected backed for cinder. - deployment fails.
