With the split of the User Guides, there's no need anymore to have orphan and user_only flags, remove them from the user-guide directory. Only files that keep :orphan: are doc/user-guide/source/hot-guide/hot_advanced_topics.rst and hot_existing_templates.rst since these files are not currently included.

$ nova unpause INSTANCE_NAMESuspend and resume an instance
To initiate a hypervisor-level suspend operation, run the following command:
$ nova suspend INSTANCE_NAMETo resume a suspended instance, run the following command:
$ nova resume INSTANCE_NAMEShelve and unshelve an instance
Shelving is useful if you have an instance that you are not using, but would like retain in your list of servers. For example, you can stop an instance at the end of a work week, and resume work again at the start of the next week. All associated data and resources are kept; however, anything still in memory is not retained. If a shelved instance is no longer needed, it can also be entirely removed.
You can run the following shelving tasks:
- Shelve an instance - Shuts down the instance, and stores it together with associated data and resources (a snapshot is taken if not volume backed). Anything in memory is lost.
$ nova shelve SERVERNAME- Unshelve an instance - Restores the instance.
$ nova unshelve SERVERNAME- Remove a shelved instance - Removes the instance from the server; data and resource associations are deleted. If an instance is no longer needed, you can move the instance off the hypervisor in order to minimize resource usage.
$ nova shelve-offload SERVERNAME
