   $ oc rsh -n openstack openstackclient

2. Create a generic project and user, both named cinder-internal, as follows:

   $ openstack project create --enable --description "Block Storage Internal Project" cinder-internal

3. Modify the maximum number of volumes that the Block Storage service can create for this cinder-internal project:

   $ openstack quota set --volumes <maxnum> cinder-internal

   • Replace <maxnum> with the maximum number of volumes that the Block Storage service can create for this cinder-internal project.

4. Optional: Modify the maximum total size of all the volumes that the Block Storage service can create for this cinder-internal project:

   $ openstack quota set --gigabytes <maxgb> cinder-internal

   • Replace <maxgb> with the maximum total size, in gigabytes, of the volumes that the Block Storage service can create for this cinder-internal project.

5. Exit the openstackclient pod:

   $ exit
