.. note::
By default, hardware properties are retrieved from the image
properties. However, if this information is not available, the
``libosinfo`` database provides an alternative source for these
values.
If the guest operating system is not in the database, or if the use
of ``libosinfo`` is disabled, the default system values are used.
Users can set the operating system ID or a ``short-id`` by setting
``os_distro`` in image properties. For example:
.. code-block:: console
$ glance image-update --property os_distro=fedora23 \
name-of-my-fedora-image
Alternatively, users can set ``os_distro`` to a URL:
.. code-block:: console
$ glance image-update \
--property os_distro=http://fedoraproject.org/fedora/23 \
name-of-my-fedora-image
