Jay S. Bryant 0395353c4b Move config-reference to configuration

It was discovered today that the 'config-reference' directory
was supposed to have been renamed to 'configuration'.  The doc
team was expecting it to be at that location so that they could
automatically link to it from contributor/index.html .

This patch just moves the directory.  I am going to be submitting
a subsequent patch that properly sets out the framework for the
additional directories so that we don't have addition problems
in the future.

FalconStor FSS Storage Fibre Channel and iSCSI drivers

The FSSISCSIDriver and FSSFCDriver drivers run volume operations by communicating with the FalconStor FSS storage system over HTTP.

System requirements

To use the FalconStor FSS drivers, the following are required:

FalconStor FSS storage with:
- iSCSI or FC host interfaces
- FSS-8.00-8865 or later

Supported operations

The FalconStor volume driver provides the following Cinder volume operations:

Create, delete, attach, and detach volumes.
Create, list, and delete volume snapshots.
Create a volume from a snapshot.
Clone a volume.
Extend a volume.
Get volume statistics.
Create and delete consistency group.
Create and delete consistency group snapshots.
Modify consistency groups.
Manage and unmanage a volume.

iSCSI configuration

Use the following instructions to update the configuration file for iSCSI:

default_volume_type = FSS
enabled_backends = FSS

[FSS]

# IP address of FSS server
san_ip = 172.23.0.1
# FSS server user name
san_login = Admin
# FSS server password
san_password = secret
# FSS server storage pool id list
fss_pools=P:2,O:3
# Name to give this storage back-end
volume_backend_name = FSSISCSIDriver
# The iSCSI driver to load
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.falconstor.iscsi.FSSISCSIDriver


# ==Optional settings==

# Enable FSS log message
fss_debug = true
# Enable FSS thin provision
san_thin_provision=true

Fibre Channel configuration

Use the following instructions to update the configuration file for fibre channel:

default_volume_type = FSSFC
enabled_backends = FSSFC

[FSSFC]
# IP address of FSS server
san_ip = 172.23.0.2
# FSS server user name
san_login = Admin
# FSS server password
san_password = secret
# FSS server storage pool id list
fss_pools=A:1
# Name to give this storage back-end
volume_backend_name = FSSFCDriver
# The FC driver to load
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.falconstor.fc.FSSFCDriver


# ==Optional settings==

# Enable FSS log message
fss_debug = true
# Enable FSS thin provision
san_thin_provision=true

Driver options

The following table contains the configuration options specific to the FalconStor FSS storage volume driver.
