Goutham Pacha Ravi bc4712e35e Manila install guide: Fix wrong instructions

Previously only the DHSS=True mode was documented
in post install steps. The assumption that the generic driver
was being configured existed in other places as well.

* add DHSS=False documentation as necessary with the
   LVM driver.
* correct assumptions in other places to clarify usage
   of appropriate share driver modes.

Creating shares with Shared File Systems Option 2 (DHSS = True)

Before being able to create a share, manila with the generic driver and the DHSS (driver_handles_share_servers) mode enabled requires the definition of at least an image, a network and a share-network for being used to create a share server. For that back end configuration, the share server is an instance where NFS shares are served.

Note

This configuration automatically creates a cinder volume for every share. The cinder volumes are attached to share servers according to the definition of a share network.

Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:
```
$ . admin-openrc.sh
```
Create a default share type with DHSS enabled. A default share type will allow you to create shares with this driver, without having to specify the share type explicitly during share creation.
```
$ manila type-create default_share_type True

+----------------------+--------------------------------------+
```
Set this default share type in manila.conf under the [DEFAULT] section and restart the manila-api service before proceeding. Unless you do so, the default share type will not be effective.

Note

Creating and configuring a default share type is optional. If you wish to use the shared file system service with a variety of share types, where each share creation request could specify a type, please refer to the Share types usage documentation here <http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide/shared-file-systems-share-types.html>_.

Create a manila share server image in the Image service. You may skip this step and use any existing image. However, for mounting a share, the service image must contain the NFS packages as appropriate for the operating system. Whatever image you choose to be the service image, be sure to set the configuration values service_image_name, service_instance_flavor_id, service_instance_user and service_instance_password in manila.conf.

Note

Any changes made to manila.conf while the manila-share service is running will require a restart of the service to be effective.

Note

As an alternative to specifying a plain-text service_instance_password in your configuration, a key-pair may be specified with options path_to_public_key and path_to_private_key to configure and allow password-less SSH access between the share node and the share server/s created.
