doc: Move admin-guide to markdown format.

Editing markdown is probably more easier than xml.

pandoc can then be used for conversion to html, pdf and any other necessary
formats. Note that pandoc has the following input and output formats:

Input: markdown and (subsets of) Textile, reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX, and
DocBook XML.

Output:plain text, markdown, reStructuredText, XHTML,  HTML  5,  LaTeX
(including beamer slide shows), ConTeXt, RTF, DocBook XML, OpenDocument XML,
ODT, Word docx, GNU Texinfo, MediaWiki markup, EPUB, Textile, groff man pages,
Emacs Org-Mode, AsciiDoc, and Slidy, Slideous, DZSlides, or S5 HTML slide shows.
It can also  pro‐ duce PDF output on systems where LaTeX is installed.

All documentation changes can be submitted as changes to markdown and we can
attempt a periodic documentation refresh on gluster.org.

+Using the Gluster Console Manager – Command Line Utility
+========================================================
+
+The Gluster Console Manager is a single command line utility that
+simplifies configuration and management of your storage environment. The
+Gluster Console Manager is similar to the LVM (Logical Volume Manager)
+CLI or ZFS Command Line Interface, but across multiple storage servers.
+You can use the Gluster Console Manager online, while volumes are
+mounted and active. Gluster automatically synchronizes volume
+configuration information across all Gluster servers.
+
+Using the Gluster Console Manager, you can create new volumes, start
+volumes, and stop volumes, as required. You can also add bricks to
+volumes, remove bricks from existing volumes, as well as change
+translator settings, among other operations.
+
+You can also use the commands to create scripts for automation, as well
+as use the commands as an API to allow integration with third-party
+applications.
+
+**Running the Gluster Console Manager**
+
+You can run the Gluster Console Manager on any GlusterFS server either
+by invoking the commands or by running the Gluster CLI in interactive
+mode. You can also use the gluster command remotely using SSH.
+
+-   To run commands directly:
+
+    ` # gluster peer `
+
+    For example:
+
+    ` # gluster peer status `
+
+-   To run the Gluster Console Manager in interactive mode
+
+    `# gluster`
+
+    You can execute gluster commands from the Console Manager prompt:
+
+    ` gluster> `
+
+    For example, to view the status of the peer server:
+
+    \# `gluster `
+
+    `gluster > peer status `
+
+    Display the status of the peer.
