Mark Goddard 583bc0899c Use new target_* options in documentation

Various iscsi_* options were replaced with target_* options. The former
were initially deprecated and have now been removed.

This patch updates relevant documentation to use the new names.

There were some other hits in the documentation and code for these
names, but these appeared to be for third-party drivers, and I don't
have the context about which, if any, need to change.

LVM

The default volume back end uses local volumes managed by LVM.

This driver supports different transport protocols to attach volumes, currently iSCSI and iSER.

Set the following in your cinder.conf configuration file, and use the following options to configure for iSCSI transport:

volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMVolumeDriver
target_protocol = iscsi

Use the following options to configure for the iSER transport:

volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMVolumeDriver
target_protocol = iser

cinder.volume.drivers.lvm

Caution

When extending an existing volume which has a linked snapshot, the related logical volume is deactivated. This logical volume is automatically reactivated unless auto_activation_volume_list is defined in LVM configuration file lvm.conf. See the lvm.conf file for more information.

If auto activated volumes are restricted, then include the cinder volume group into this list:

auto_activation_volume_list = [ "existingVG", "cinder-volumes" ]

This note does not apply for thinly provisioned volumes because they do not need to be deactivated.
