Jay S. Bryant 986a6a015f [DOC BLD FIX] Name files for inclusion properly
The Sphinx build was issuing hundreds of warning for
duplicate labels.  The reason for this was because
all of the tables we had were named as .rst files.
This would cause Sphinx to process them twice and it would
think there were duplicated sections.

There were two ways this could be handled:  1) Exclude the tables
directory from the docs build. 2) Name the files as they should
have always been so they weren't build twice.  Given that
option 1 just masked the problem, I am implementing this
patch using option 2.

So, all the tables we are including in our documentation
have been named from .rst to .inc and the .. include::
directives that use them have also been updated to use
the new file name.

LVM

The default volume back end uses local volumes managed by LVM.

This driver supports different transport protocols to attach volumes, currently iSCSI and iSER.

Set the following in your cinder.conf configuration file, and use the following options to configure for iSCSI transport:

volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMVolumeDriver
iscsi_protocol = iscsi

Use the following options to configure for the iSER transport:

volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMVolumeDriver
iscsi_protocol = iser

Caution

When extending an existing volume which has a linked snapshot, the related logical volume is deactivated. This logical volume is automatically reactivated unless auto_activation_volume_list is defined in LVM configuration file lvm.conf. See the lvm.conf file for more information.

If auto activated volumes are restricted, then include the cinder volume group into this list:

auto_activation_volume_list = [ "existingVG", "cinder-volumes" ]

This note does not apply for thinly provisioned volumes because they do not need to be deactivated.
