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:
.. code-block:: console
$ . 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.
.. code-block:: console
$ 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.
