hi to all
I want to put a local file in a VM openstack instance, but i don't have idea how to do that. I try with the command --file, the VM is created but when i go to see if there is the file in the VM, i saw that it there isn't. please help me
thanks Carunchio
Before running nova boot .... Please learn first How to create nova instance with ssh keypair
Say default user on VM is Ubuntu, floating IP is 192.168.1.170, sshkey is oskey25.pem.
On Controller :-
[root@icehouse1 Downloads(keystone_admin)]# adduser ubuntu
[root@icehouse1 Downloads(keystone_admin)]# cp oskey25.pem /home/ubuntu
[root@icehouse1 Downloads(keystone_admin)]# cd /home/ubuntu
[root@icehouse1 ubuntu(keystone_admin)]# ls -l
total 4
-rw-------. 1 root root 1679 Aug 27 15:06 oskey25.pem
[root@icehouse1 ubuntu(keystone_admin)]# chown ubuntu:ubuntu *.pem
[root@icehouse1 ubuntu(keystone_admin)]# su - ubuntu

[ubuntu@icehouse1 ~]$ vi test.1
[ubuntu@icehouse1 ~]$ scp -i oskey25.pem test.1 192.168.1.170:/home/ubuntu

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

I mean , that creating user exactly as default ( or any other user) on VM , you may run utility of remote copying files between hosts - scp . When you connect via ssh to floating IP you need instance ssh-keypair like ssh -i key25.pem ubuntu@FLOATING-IP, same ssh-keypair may be used by scp.
Please, scroll down http://textuploader.com/1hey to "Boot an instance and attach Floating IP" and see how you are supposed to manage when launching ( booting ) your VM.
Now i have an other problem when i put this command i have the following error:
nova boot --flavor m1.large --image debian --nic net-id=6e0ea971-122d-4af5-b311-211679bc3e77 --security-group default --user-data /home/test_openstack.tar.gz demo-instance1
