Jay S. Bryant 1c0dac0199 Migrate configuration-reference to Cinder repo
The next patch in the documentation migration process brings over
the very popular configuration reference guide.  This required
moving the 'block-storage' section from config-reference in
openstack-manuals.  It also brings with it a number of supporting
tables.

With this patch in place it becomes imperative that we make sure
that any changes that touch config options also come with a patch
to this part of Cinder.

As with the other changes, this is intended to just make the
content accessible on the web again.  There are definitely
changes/improvements needed to make this integrate better
with out index page and to ensure the content is accurate.
Later patches will address those needs.

Swift backup driver

The backup driver for the swift back end performs a volume backup to an object storage system.

To enable the swift backup driver, include the following option in the cinder.conf file:

backup_driver = cinder.backup.drivers.swift

The following configuration options are available for the Swift back-end backup driver.

To enable the swift backup driver for 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0 authentication version, specify 1, 2, or 3 correspondingly. For example:

backup_swift_auth_version = 2

In addition, the 2.0 authentication system requires the definition of the backup_swift_tenant setting:

backup_swift_tenant = <None>

This example shows the default options for the Swift back-end backup driver.

backup_swift_url = http://localhost:8080/v1/AUTH_
backup_swift_auth_url = http://localhost:5000/v3
backup_swift_auth = per_user
backup_swift_auth_version = 1
backup_swift_user = <None>
backup_swift_user_domain = <None>
backup_swift_key = <None>
backup_swift_container = volumebackups
backup_swift_object_size = 52428800
backup_swift_project = <None>
backup_swift_project_domain = <None>
backup_swift_retry_attempts = 3
backup_swift_retry_backoff = 2
backup_compression_algorithm = zlib
