We also will create global pool for Cinder, the IOPS of global pool will be
betther than local pool.
The benefit of local pool is reducing the network traffic between servers
and Improving the management of storage. We use one same Ceph Gluster for
Nova,Cinder,Glance, and create different pools(and diffenrent rules) for
them. Maybe it need more testing :)

Thank you for your quick reply, it is very useful for me :)
