Ewan Mellor 1c94ed77a6 Bug #883218: No documentation for installing OpenStack Compute with XenServer as hypervisor
Bug #938408: Possible typo in a relevant technical term

Added <?dbhtml stop-chunking?> processing instruction so the introduction appears as a single page.
Add an introduction to Xen, XCP, and XenServer, with explanation of the
variety of technical terms.  This is included as part of the Installing
OpenStack Compute and Image Service chapter in the installation manual, and
the Hypervisors chapter of the compute admin manual.

Openstack Manuals

This repository contains the cloud administrator documentation for the OpenStack project. It includes documentation for:

  • OpenStack Compute
  • OpenStack Identity Service
  • OpenStack Image Service
  • OpenStack Object Storage
  • OpenStack Dashboard
  • OpenStack Network Connectivity

For more details, see the OpenStack Documentation HowTo wiki page.

In addtion to the guides, this repository contains:

  • api.openstack.org: doc/src/docbkx/openstack-api-site
  • docs.openstack.org: www

Prerequisites

Apache Maven must be installed to build the documentation.

To install Maven for Ubuntu:

apt-get install maven3

Building

To build the Compute Admin Manual, Object Storage Admin Manual, and Image Service Manual:

cd openstack-manuals/doc
mvn clean generate-sources

The different manuals are in subdirectories of the openstack-manuals/doc/src/docbkx directory.

For example, the root directory of the OpenStack Compute Administration Guide is openstack-manuals/doc/src/docbkx/openstack-compute-admin.

To build a specific guide, look for a pom.xml file within a subdirectory, then run the mvn command in that directory. For example:

cd openstack-manuals/doc/src/docbkx/openstack-compute-admin
mvn clean generate-sources

The generated PDF documentation file is:

openstack-manuals/doc/src/docbkx/openstack-compute-admin/target/docbkx/webhelp/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/os-compute-adminguide-trunk.pdf

The root of the generated HTML documentation is:

openstack-manuals/doc/src/docbkx/openstack-compute-admin/target/docbkx/webhelp/os-compute-adminguide/content/index.html
