Manage images
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The cloud operator assigns roles to users. Roles determine who can
|
|
upload and manage images. The operator might restrict image upload and
|
|
management to only cloud administrators or operators.
|
|
|
|
You can upload images through the ``glance`` client or the Image service
|
|
API. You can use the ``nova`` client for the image management.
|
|
The latter provides mechanisms to list and delete images, set and delete
|
|
image metadata, and create images of a running instance or snapshot and
|
|
backup types.
|
|
|
|
After you upload an image, you cannot change it.
|
|
|
|
For details about image creation, see the `Virtual Machine Image
|
|
Guide <http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/>`__.

List or get details for images (glance)
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
To get a list of images and to get further details about a single
|
|
image, use :command:`glance image-list` and :command:`glance image-show`
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|

When viewing a list of images, you can also use ``grep`` to filter the
|
|
list, as follows:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ glance image-list | grep 'cirros'
|
|
| 397e713c-b95b-4186-ad46-612... | cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec | ami | ami | 25165824 | active |

|
|
| 3cf852bd-2332-48f4-9ae4-7d9... | cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec-ramdisk | ari | ari | 3714968 | active |
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
To store location metadata for images, which enables direct file access for a client, update the ``/etc/glance/glance-api.conf`` file with the following statements:
|
|
|
|
* ``show_multiple_locations = True``
|
|
|
|
* ``filesystem_store_metadata_file = filePath``, where filePath points to a JSON file that defines the mount point for OpenStack images on your system and a unique ID. For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: json
|
|
|
|
[{
|
|
"id": "2d9bb53f-70ea-4066-a68b-67960eaae673",
|
|
"mountpoint": "/var/lib/glance/images/"
|
|
}]
|
|
|
|
After you restart the Image service, you can use the following syntax to view the image's location information:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ glance --os-image-api-version 2 image-show imageID
|
|
|
|
For example, using the image ID shown above, you would issue the command as follows:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ glance --os-image-api-version 2 image-show 2d9bb53f-70ea-4066-a68b-67960eaae673
|
|
|
|
Create or update an image (glance)
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
To create an image, use :command:`glance image-create`:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ glance image-create imageName
|
|
|
|
To update an image by name or ID, use :command:`glance image-update`:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ glance image-update imageName
|
|
|
|
The following list explains the optional arguments that you can use with
|
|
the ``create`` and ``update`` commands to modify image properties. For
|
|
more information, refer to Image service chapter in the `OpenStack
|
|
Command-Line Interface
|
|
Reference <http://docs.openstack.org/cli-reference/index.html>`__.
|
|
|
|
``--name NAME``
|
|
The name of the image.
|
|
|
|
``--disk-format DISK_FORMAT``
|
|
The disk format of the image. Acceptable formats are ami, ari, aki,
|
|
vhd, vmdk, raw, qcow2, vdi, and iso.
|
|
|
|
``--container-format CONTAINER_FORMAT``
|
|
The container format of the image. Acceptable formats are ami, ari,
|
|
aki, bare, docker, and ovf.
|
|
|
|
``--owner TENANT_ID --size SIZE``
|
|
The tenant who should own the image. The size of image data, in
|
|
bytes.
|
|
|
|
``--min-disk DISK_GB``
|
|
The minimum size of the disk needed to boot the image, in
|
|
gigabytes.
|
|
|
|
``--min-ram DISK_RAM``
|
|
The minimum amount of RAM needed to boot the image, in megabytes.
|
|
|
|
``--location IMAGE_URL``
|
|
The URL where the data for this image resides. For example, if the
|
|
image data is stored in swift, you could specify
|
|
``swift://account:key@example.com/container/obj``.
|
|
|
|
``--file FILE``
|
|
Local file that contains the disk image to be uploaded during the
|
|
update. Alternatively, you can pass images to the client through
|
|
stdin.
|
|
|
|
``--checksum CHECKSUM``
|
|
Hash of image data to use for verification.
|
|
|
|
``--copy-from IMAGE_URL``
|
|
Similar to :option:`--location` in usage, but indicates that the image
|
|
server should immediately copy the data and store it in its
|
|
configured image store.
|
|
|
|
``--is-public [True|False]``
|
|
Makes an image accessible for all the tenants (admin-only by
|
|
default).
|
|
|
|
``--is-protected [True|False]``
|
|

|
|
|
|
``--property KEY=VALUE``
|
|
Arbitrary property to associate with image. This option can be used
|
|
multiple times.
|
|
|
|
``--purge-props``
|
|
Deletes all image properties that are not explicitly set in the
|
|
update request. Otherwise, those properties not referenced are
|
|
preserved.
|
|
|
|
``--human-readable``
|
|
Prints the image size in a human-friendly format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following example shows the command that you would use to upload a
|
|
CentOS 6.3 image in qcow2 format and configure it for public access:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ glance image-create --name centos63-image --disk-format qcow2 \
|
|
--container-format bare --is-public True --file ./centos63.qcow2
|
|
|
|
The following example shows how to update an existing image with a
|
|
properties that describe the disk bus, the CD-ROM bus, and the VIF
|
|
model:
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
When you use OpenStack with VMware vCenter Server, you need to specify
|
|
the ``vmware_disktype`` and ``vmware_adaptertype`` properties with
|
|
:command:`glance image-create`.
|
|
Also, we recommend that you set the ``hypervisor_type="vmware"`` property.
|
|
For more information, see `Images with VMware vSphere
|
|
<http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/config-reference/content/vmware.html#VMware_images>`_
|
|
in the *OpenStack Configuration Reference*.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ glance image-update \
|
|
--property hw_disk_bus=scsi \
|
|
--property hw_cdrom_bus=ide \
|
|
--property hw_vif_model=e1000 \
|
|
f16-x86_64-openstack-sda

|
|
|
Currently the libvirt virtualization tool determines the disk, CD-ROM,
|
|
and VIF device models based on the configured hypervisor type
|
|
(``libvirt_type`` in ``/etc/nova/nova.conf`` file). For the sake of optimal
|
|
performance, libvirt defaults to using virtio for both disk and VIF
|
|
(NIC) models. The disadvantage of this approach is that it is not
|
|
possible to run operating systems that lack virtio drivers, for example,
|
|
BSD, Solaris, and older versions of Linux and Windows.
|
|
|
|
If you specify a disk or CD-ROM bus model that is not supported, see
|
|
the Disk_and_CD-ROM_bus_model_values_table_.
|
|
If you specify a VIF model that is not supported, the instance fails to
|
|
launch. See the VIF_model_values_table_.
|
|
|
|
The valid model values depend on the ``libvirt_type`` setting, as shown
|
|
in the following tables.

Troubleshoot image creation
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
If you encounter problems in creating an image in the Image service or
|
|
Compute, the following information may help you troubleshoot the
|
|
creation process.
|
|
|
|
* Ensure that the version of qemu you are using is version 0.14 or
|
|
later. Earlier versions of qemu result in an ``unknown option -s``
|
|
error message in the ``nova-compute.log`` file.
|
|
|
|
* Examine the ``/var/log/nova-api.log`` and
|
|
``/var/log/nova-compute.log`` log files for error messages.
|
