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. Change-Id: Ib3f9255e0f9f2ff42a0ee4126607ff319a3d901e

Block Storage

The OpenStack Block Storage service works through the interaction of
|
|
a series of daemon processes named ``cinder-*`` that reside
|
|
persistently on the host machine or machines. You can run all the
|
|
binaries from a single node, or spread across multiple nodes. You can
|
|
also run them on the same node as other OpenStack services.
|
|
|
|
To administer the OpenStack Block Storage service, it is helpful to
|
|
understand a number of concepts. You must make certain choices when
|
|
you configure the Block Storage service in OpenStack. The bulk of the
|
|
options come down to two choices - single node or multi-node install.
|
|
You can read a longer discussion about `Storage Decisions`_ in the
|
|
`OpenStack Operations Guide`_.
|
|
|
|
OpenStack Block Storage enables you to add extra block-level storage
|
|
to your OpenStack Compute instances. This service is similar to the
|
|
Amazon EC2 Elastic Block Storage (EBS) offering.
