Stephen Finucane 70a4054f86 docs: Update resize doc
- Remove references to configuration options (which end-users will not
  be able to set)
- Switch from the '--confirm' and '--revert' flags to the top-level
  commands
- You can't revert a failed resize so don't suggest otherwise
- Fix some wrapping

==================
Resize an instance
==================
You can change the size of an instance by changing its flavor. This rebuilds
the instance and therefore results in a restart.
To list the VMs you want to resize, run:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack server list
Once you have the name or UUID of the server you wish to resize, resize it
using the :command:`openstack server resize` command:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack server resize --flavor FLAVOR SERVER
.. note::
By default, the :command:`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. This behavior can be
configured by the administrator but it can also be overridden on a per image
basis using the ``os_shutdown_timeout`` image metadata setting. This allows
different types of operating systems to specify how much time they need to
shut down cleanly. See :glance-doc:`Useful image properties
<admin/useful-image-properties>` for details.
Resizing can take some time. During this time, the instance status will be
``RESIZE``:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack server list
+----------------------+----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------+
| ID | Name | Status | Networks |
+----------------------+----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------+
| 67bc9a9a-5928-47c... | myCirrosServer | RESIZE | admin_internal_net=192.168.111.139 |
+----------------------+----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------+
When the resize completes, the instance status will be ``VERIFY_RESIZE``.
You can now confirm the resize to change the status to ``ACTIVE``:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack server resize confirm SERVER
.. note::
The resized server may be automatically confirmed based on the
administrator's configuration of the deployment.
If the resize does not work as expected, you can revert the resize. This will
revert the instance to the old flavor and change the status to ``ACTIVE``:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack server resize revert SERVER
