Hello,

I have glance image-list:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/devstack$ glance image-list +--------------------------------------+-------------------------------+-------------+------------------+------------+--------+ | ID | Name | Disk Format | Container Format | Size | Status | +--------------------------------------+-------------------------------+-------------+------------------+------------+--------+ | 5f2aeb07-70f6-49d6-9e67-34fd5b33ad95 | cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-disk | qcow2 | bare | 13167616 | active | | eaf3d49d-e9b0-408d-b683-9fa4a337d4d3 | F17-x86_64-cfntools | qcow2 | bare | 476704768 | active | | c6498f81-4ea0-4a4d-b9c9-9ce5d29c2850 | Fedora-x86_64-20-20140618-sda | qcow2 | bare | 209649664 | active | | dec66846-84a5-496a-8f7d-b6fe643d12d3 | vmdk_image_1 | vmdk | bare | 1440022528 | active | | c5037b0b-a767-4266-b2b4-94365b91b121 | vmdk_image_2 | vmdk | bare | 643366912 | active | +--------------------------------------+-------------------------------+-------------+------------------+------------+--------+

nova boot --flavor 2 --key_name oskey --image vmdk_image_1 vmware_vm_1

Looks like it hangs:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/devstack$ nova list ERROR (RequestTimeout): Request to http://10.72.68.238:8774/v2/7a10a3917... timed out (HTTP 408)

My 'datastore1' (the default data-store) is mounted in my ESX. In my vCentre-5.5, I have a ESX inside a cluster and the local.conf Nova is this:

Nova configuration

[[post-config|$NOVA_CONF]] [DEFAULT]

Nova does not generate the periodic notifications for all known instances by default.

instance_usage_audit=true
