Our installation guide walks through configuring storage nodes using the LVM driver. LVM now defaults to thinly provisioned, which requires thing-provisioning-tools to be installed on the host. So by default, our instructions will result in failure when we attempt to perform thin provision operations. This adds mention of installing the required package for each platform's instructions to get the necessary tools installed. It also adds device-mapper-persistent-data to bindep for Red Hat based platforms to get those thin provisioning tools that were previously missing for these platforms. Tools appear to be installed by default on Suse platforms. Change-Id: I2a84ae99d71c3551814197917d114057430858b7 Closes-bug: #1738409
