Setting up Administrator Guide Dashboard Chapter

Introducing Admin User Guide dashboard content to
the Cloud Admin Guide as a part of the reorganisation
goal. This patch is the first step in creating a new
Dashboard section for Admin Users in the Cloud Admin Guide,
as disucssed in the User Guide Specialty team meetings.

1.) Moving:
   dashboard_manage_host_aggregates.rst
   dashboard_manage_flavors.rst
   dashboard_admin_manage_stacks.rst
   dashboard_manage_instances.rst
   dashboard_manage_images.rst
   shared_file_systems_manage_shares_dashboard.rst

2). Remove the Images and Instances content from the compute-images-instances.rst

3.) Move the Shared file system dashboard content out of
    shared_file_system.rst, and into the Dashboard.rst chapter.

Manage instances
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Administrative users can manage instances for users in various projects. As
an administrative user, you can view, terminate, edit, perform, or migrate
an instance. You can perform a soft or hard reboot if needed. You can also
view instance logs, or launch a VNC console for an instance.
For information about using the Dashboard to launch instances as an end
user, see the
`OpenStack End User Guide
<http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/dashboard_launch_instances.html>`__.
Create instance snapshots
-------------------------
#. Log in to the Dashboard and choose the admin project from the
drop-down list at the top of the page.
#. On the :guilabel:`Admin` tab, open the :guilabel:`System` tab
and click the :guilabel:`Instances` category.
#. Select an instance to create a snapshot from it. From the
:guilabel:`Actions` drop-down list, select :guilabel:`Create Snapshot`.
#. In the :guilabel:`Create Snapshot` window, enter a name for the snapshot.
#. Click :guilabel:`Create Snapshot`. The Dashboard shows the instance snapshot
in the :guilabel:`Images` category.
#. To launch an instance from the snapshot, select the snapshot and
click :guilabel:`Launch Instance`. For information about launching
instances, see the
`OpenStack End User Guide
<http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/dashboard_launch_instances.html>`__.
Control the state of an instance
--------------------------------
#. Log in to the Dashboard and choose the admin project from the
drop-down list at the top of the page.
#. On the :guilabel:`Admin` tab, open the :guilabel:`System` tab
and click the :guilabel:`Instances` category.
#. Select the instance for which you want to change the state.
#. From the drop-down list in the :guilabel:`Actions` column,
select the state.
Depending on the current state of the instance, you can choose to
pause, un-pause, suspend, resume, soft or hard reboot, or terminate
an instance (actions in red color are dangerous).
Track usage
-----------
Use the :guilabel:`Overview` category to track usage of instances
for each project.
You can track costs per month by showing meters like number of VCPUs,
disks, RAM, and uptime of all your instances.
#. Log in to the Dashboard and choose the admin project from the
drop-down list at the top of the page.
#. On the :guilabel:`Admin` tab, click the :guilabel:`Instances` category.
#. Select a month and click :guilabel:`Submit` to query the instance usage for
that month.
#. Click :guilabel:`Download CSV Summary` to download a CSV summary.
Image management
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The OpenStack Image service discovers, registers, and retrieves virtual
machine images. The service also includes a RESTful API that allows you
to query VM image metadata and retrieve the actual image with HTTP
requests. For more information about the API, see the `OpenStack API
Complete Reference <http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref.html>`__ and
the `Python
API <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/python-glanceclient/>`__.
The OpenStack Image service can be controlled using a command-line tool.
For more information about using the OpenStack Image command-line tool,
see the `Manage
Images <http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/common/cli_manage_images.html>`__
section in the OpenStack End User Guide.
You can store virtual images made available through the Image service
in a variety of ways. In order to use these services, you
must have a working installation of the Image service, with a working
endpoint, and users that have been created in OpenStack Identity.
Additionally, you must meet the environment variables required by the
Compute and Image service clients.
The Image service supports these back-end stores:
File system
The OpenStack Image service stores virtual machine images in the
file system back end by default. This simple back end writes image
files to the local file system.
Object Storage
The OpenStack highly available service for storing objects.
Block Storage
The OpenStack highly available service for storing blocks.
VMware
ESX/ESXi or vCenter Server target system.
S3
The Amazon S3 service.
HTTP
OpenStack Image service can read virtual machine images that are
available on the Internet using HTTP. This store is read only.
RADOS Block Device (RBD)
Stores images inside of a Ceph storage cluster using Ceph's RBD
interface.
Sheepdog
A distributed storage system for QEMU/KVM.
GridFS
Stores images using MongoDB. This store driver will be removed in Mitaka.

Launch and manage stacks using the Dashboard
============================================
The Orchestration service provides a template-based
orchestration engine for the OpenStack cloud. Orchestration
services create and manage cloud infrastructure
resources such as storage, networking, instances, and
applications as a repeatable running environment.
Administrators use templates to create stacks, which are
collections of resources. For example, a stack might
include instances, floating IPs, volumes,
security groups, or users. The Orchestration service
offers access to all OpenStack
core services via a single modular template, with additional
orchestration capabilities such as auto-scaling and basic
high availability.
For information about:
* administrative tasks on the command-line, see
:doc:`cli_admin_manage_stacks`.
.. note::
There are no administration-specific tasks that can be done through
the Dashboard.
* the basic creation and deletion of Orchestration stacks, refer to
the `OpenStack End User Guide
<http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/dashboard_stacks.html>`__.

Create and manage host aggregates
=================================
Host aggregates enable administrative users to assign key-value pairs to
groups of machines.
Each node can have multiple aggregates and each aggregate can have
multiple key-value pairs. You can assign the same key-value pair to
multiple aggregates.
The scheduler uses this information to make scheduling decisions.
For information, see
`Scheduling <http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/config-reference/content/section_compute-scheduler.html>`__.

#. In the :guilabel:`Create Host Aggregate` dialog box, enter or select the
following values on the :guilabel:`Host Aggregate Information` tab:
- :guilabel:`Name`: The host aggregate name.
- :guilabel:`Availability Zone`: The cloud provider defines the default
availability zone, such as ``us-west``, ``apac-south``, or
``nova``. You can target the host aggregate, as follows:
- When the host aggregate is exposed as an availability zone,
select the availability zone when you launch an instance.
- When the host aggregate is not exposed as an availability zone,
select a flavor and its extra specs to target the host
aggregate.
#. Assign hosts to the aggregate using the :guilabel:`Manage Hosts within
Aggregate` tab in the same dialog box.
To assign a host to the aggregate, click **+** for the host. The host
moves from the :guilabel:`All available hosts` list to the
:guilabel:`Selected hosts` list.
You can add one host to one or more aggregates. To add a host to an
existing aggregate, edit the aggregate.

in the table. Click :guilabel:`More` and select :guilabel:`Manage Hosts`.
In the :guilabel:`Add/Remove Hosts to Aggregate` dialog box,
click **+** to assign a host to an aggregate. Click **-** to
