Jay S. Bryant be10de4b91 [Doc Bld Fix] Add links to man page contents
The pages under man/ had not been linked to from anywhere.  This
was causing Sphinx to issue warnings during build.  This patch
corrects that.

There was also a 'todo' directive that wasn't valid that needed
to be removed.  This patch also corrects that.

Cinder uses iSCSI to export storage volumes from multiple storage nodes. These iSCSI exports are attached (using libvirt) directly to running instances.

Cinder volumes are exported over the primary system VLAN (usually VLAN 1), and not over individual VLANs.

The underlying volumes by default are LVM logical volumes, created on demand within a single large volume group.
