The configuration example for multiple backends is visibly wrong. Use a literal code block (marked as such with "::" and indentation) to show the example configuration. Change-Id: If994eddee9e9cf586e4c629d984bc4bf479f4e5b

Configure multiple back ends
An administrator can configure an instance of Manila to provision shares from one or more back ends. Each back end leverages an instance of a vendor-specific implementation of the Manila driver API.
The name of the back end is declared as a configuration option share_backend_name within a particular configuration stanza that contains the related configuration options for that back end.
Administrators can specify that a particular share type be explicitly associated with a single back end by including the extra spec share_backend_name with the name specified within the back end configuration stanza. When the Manila scheduler receives a provisioning request for a share type with this extra spec set, it will fulfill the share provisioning request on the specified back end (assuming all other scheduling criteria including available capacity are met).
Enable multiple back ends
To enable multiple share back ends, you must set the enabled_share_backends flag in the manila.conf file. This flag defines the names (separated by a comma) of the configuration stanzas for the different back ends: one name is associated to one configuration group for a back end.
The following example shows five configured back ends:
