<title>Create image (nova)</title>
<para>You can use the nova client to list images, set and delete
image metadata, delete images, and take a snapshot of a
running instance to create an image.</para>
<para>The safest approach is to shut down the instance before you
take a snapshot.</para>
<para>You cannot create a snapshot from an instance that has an
attached volume. Detach the volume, create the image, and
re-mount the volume.</para>
<procedure>
<step>
<para>Write any buffered data to disk.</para>

<para>To create the image, list instances to get the
server ID:</para>

+--------------------------------------+----------------------+--------+------------+-------------+------------------+</computeroutput></screen>
<para>In this example, the server is named
<literal>myCirrosServer</literal>. Use this server
to create a snapshot, as follows:
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>nova image-create myCirrosServer myCirrosImage</userinput></screen>The
command creates a qemu snapshot and automatically
uploads the image to your repository. Only the tenant
that creates the image has access to it.</para>

<para>Get details for your image to check its
status:</para>
