README.rst

Volume API

This repository is now frozen-in-time and will not accept new patches. To update Block Storage API information, please submit patches to http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/cinder-specs for a new API feature and to http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/api-site for implemented API information.

It was the original holder for API information for the OpenStack Block Storage, also known as Cinder. The Cinder project provides open source block-based storage component for cloud computing.

For more details, see the OpenStack Documentation wiki page.

It includes these manuals:

  • Block Storage Service API v1 Reference
  • Block Storage Service API v2 Reference

Prerequisites

Apache Maven must be installed to build the documentation.

To install Maven 3 for Ubuntu 12.04 and later,and Debian wheezy and later:

apt-get install maven

On Fedora 15 and later:

yum install maven3

Building

The manuals are in the v1 and v2 directories.

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 v2
mvn clean generate-sources

The generated PDF documentation file is:

api-quick-start/target/docbkx/webhelp/api-quick-start-onepager-external/api-quick-start-onepager.pdf

The root of the generated HTML documentation is:

api-quick-start/target/docbkx/webhelp/api-quick-start-onepager-external/content/index.html

Testing of changes and building of the manual

Install the python tox package and run tox from the top-level directory to use the same tests that are done as part of our Jenkins gating jobs.

If you like to run individual tests, run:

  • tox -e checkniceness - to run the niceness tests
  • tox -e checksyntax - to run syntax checks
  • tox -e checkdeletions - to check that no deleted files are referenced
  • tox -e checkbuild - to actually build the manual

tox will use the openstack-doc-tools package for execution of these tests. openstack-doc-tools has a requirement on maven for the build check.
