Jay S. Bryant e9857d616d Migrate the blockstorage admin-guide to Cinder
This patch is part of the docs migration for Cinder.
It is more or less a drag and drop of the docs from
openstack-manuals admin-guide directory.  I needed to
change some syntax to work with Cinder's more stringent
doc build.

Note that the purpose of this patch is just to get the
documentation back to an accessible location.  Later patches
will clean up the organization and content.

Use LIO iSCSI support

The default mode for the iscsi_helper tool is tgtadm. To use LIO iSCSI, install the python-rtslib package, and set iscsi_helper=lioadm in the cinder.conf file.

Once configured, you can use the cinder-rtstool command to manage the volumes. This command enables you to create, delete, and verify volumes and determine targets and add iSCSI initiators to the system.
