I upload this "QCOW2" image to Glance by command

curl http://download.cirros-cloud.net/daily/20161201/cirros-d161201-x86_64-disk.img | glance image-create --name='cirros image' --visibility=public --container-format=bare --disk-format=qcow2

And I confirm by glance image-show

On my Newton DevStack, by default Horizon copies the image to a volume when launching an instance. Your compute log indicates the same. This would explain why you have nothing in the instances directory.

Why does the launch fail? Something wrong with the image, I guess. Try launching it from CLI.

This could be an issue with Nova and the emulator you are using. I have found this in Newton when running in a virtualized environment. The new qemu-kvm-ev package seems to depend on svm or vmx flags under /proc/cpuinfo and will not boot the disk properly otherwise. This is what worked for me, at least with todays version of OpenStack:

Edit your /etc/nova/nova.conf file and verify/update these two parameters:

virt_type=qemu

cpu_mode=none

A reboot of the node is a way to make sure all services come up properly together. Launch another instance. It may be slow to come up but at least something will work.

I tried launching from cli without any luck. It is strange. I'm learning openstack and keep installing every few days following the same procedure .Now is broken ? Did something change in few days , some update?

Downgraded to Mitaka and it works fine.

openstack server create --image 1d2e9b58-15e4-491e-b768-54200a816ff7 --flavor 1 --nic net-id=1d8ef739-5171-4f48-85f7-911f85d8c3a3 --wait CliTest

I believe this may be the same related issue... https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/100756/instances-stuck-on-booting-from-hard-drive/ (https://ask.openstack.org/en/question...)

I'm having exactly the same issue and no luck. Everything is working as expected, no errors on any log. Even I installed the same Newton version under Ubuntu and seems to work fine. Same version (Newton) same structure but instead of ubuntu, centos as hypervisor... no way to pass through the message booting from hard drive.

A "work around" is to use virt_type=qemu and cpu_mode=none in nova.conf, however, if virt_type kvm is needed I'm not sure the current qemu-kvm version has a solution. There seems to be a resolution when libvirtd moves to 2.5.0 but that is not released yet.

See the following bugs:
