Matt Riedemann 3cd5198d5a doc: fix resize user guide link 
The admin config resize doc was linking to a now non-existent
user guide doc which was deleted in pike. This change imports
the resize user guide from the openstack-manuals stable/ocata
branch, fixes the link, and updates the resize user doc to
(1) link to our internal shutdown_timeout config option reference
and (2) link to the image properties doc in glance for the
os_shutdown_timeout image property.

Change the size of your server

Change the size of a server by changing its flavor.

  1. Show information about your server, including its size, which is shown as the value of the flavor property:

+--------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+

    The size (flavor) of the server is m1.small (2).

  2. List the available flavors with the following command:

    $ openstack flavor list
+-----+-----------+-------+------+-----------+-------+-----------+
| ID  | Name      |   RAM | Disk | Ephemeral | VCPUs | Is_Public |
+-----+-----------+-------+------+-----------+-------+-----------+
| 1   | m1.tiny   |   512 |    1 |         0 |     1 | True      |
| 2   | m1.small  |  2048 |   20 |         0 |     1 | True      |
| 3   | m1.medium |  4096 |   40 |         0 |     2 | True      |
| 4   | m1.large  |  8192 |   80 |         0 |     4 | True      |
| 5   | m1.xlarge | 16384 |  160 |         0 |     8 | True      |
+-----+-----------+-------+------+-----------+-------+-----------+

  3. To resize the server, use the openstack server resize command and add the server ID or name and the new flavor. For example:

    $ openstack server resize --flavor 4 myCirrosServer

    Note

    By default, the openstack server resize command gives the guest operating system a chance to perform a controlled shutdown before the instance is powered off and the instance is resized. The shutdown behavior is configured by the :oslo.configshutdown_timeout parameter that can be set in the nova.conf file. Its value stands for the overall period (in seconds) a guest operating system is allowed to complete the shutdown. The default timeout is 60 seconds.

    The timeout value can be overridden on a per image basis by means of os_shutdown_timeout that is an image metadata setting allowing different types of operating systems to specify how much time they need to shut down cleanly. See Useful image properties <admin/useful-image-properties> for details.

  4. Show the status for your server.

    $ openstack server list
+----------------------+----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------+
| ID                   | Name           | Status | Networks                                |
+----------------------+----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------+
| 67bc9a9a-5928-47c... | myCirrosServer | RESIZE | admin_internal_net=192.168.111.139      |
+----------------------+----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------+

    When the resize completes, the status becomes VERIFY_RESIZE.

  5. Confirm the resize. For example:

    $ openstack server resize --confirm 67bc9a9a-5928-47c4-852c-3631fef2a7e8

    The server status becomes ACTIVE.

  6. If the resize fails or does not work as expected, you can revert the resize. For example:

    $ openstack server resize --revert 67bc9a9a-5928-47c4-852c-3631fef2a7e8

    The server status becomes ACTIVE.
