There was a mistake in the documentation migration. The landing pages in the admin and configuration sections should have been moved to index.html. That step didn't happen which is causing it to appear that that content is missing from the main OpenStack docs website. This patch updates our main index page and moves the existing landing pages to index.rst. Change-Id: Idb96a09f748d3bbebf6eb768dfd2b758da545096

Cinder Administration
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
The OpenStack Block Storage service works through the interaction of
|
|
a series of daemon processes named ``cinder-*`` that reside
|
|
persistently on the host machine or machines. You can run all the
|
|
binaries from a single node, or spread across multiple nodes. You can
|
|
also run them on the same node as other OpenStack services.
|
|
|
|
To administer the OpenStack Block Storage service, it is helpful to
|
|
understand a number of concepts. You must make certain choices when
|
|
you configure the Block Storage service in OpenStack. The bulk of the
|
|
options come down to two choices - single node or multi-node install.
|
|
You can read a longer discussion about `Storage Decisions`_ in the
|
|
`OpenStack Operations Guide`_.
|
|
|
|
OpenStack Block Storage enables you to add extra block-level storage
|
|
to your OpenStack Compute instances. This service is similar to the
|
|
Amazon EC2 Elastic Block Storage (EBS) offering.
