 # **cinder_cert.sh**
 
+# This script is a simple wrapper around the tempest volume api tests
+# It requires that you have a working and functional devstack install
+# and that you've enabled your device driver by making the necessary
+# modifications to /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
+
+# This script will refresh your openstack repo's and restart the cinder
+# services to pick up your driver changes.
+# please NOTE; this script assumes your devstack install is functional
+# and includes tempest. A good first step is to make sure you can
+# create volumes on your device before you even try and run this script.
+
+# It also assumes default install location (/opt/stack/xxx)
+# to aid in debug, you should also verify that you've added
+# an output directory for screen logs:
+#     SCREEN_LOGDIR=/opt/stack/screen-logs
