I am following the kilo install guide and getting stuck when trying to create an image via glance (page 52). I get the following message:

glance image-create --name "cirros-0.3.4-x86_64" --file /tmp/images/cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --visibility public --progress

I have also tried switching each option to a --property <flag>=<value> format, but get the following:

glance image-create --property name="cirros-0.3.4-x86_64" --file /tmp/images/cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img --property disk-format=qcow2 --property container-format=bare --property visibility=public --progress

                           [--progress]
                           <unavailable>
glance image-create: error: too few arguments

I've seen some posts asking what the output of "glance image-list" is, so here it is:

glance image-list
Invalid OpenStack Identity credentials.

If I switch to OS_AUTH_URL=http://localhost:35357/v2.0

glance image-list
An auth plugin is required to fetch a token

Any help in determining why glance isn't recognizing the parameters?

For me, Invalid OpenStack Identity credentials. came when I created the keystone user with a wrong password.

I have exactly the same problem following the same installation guide. I'm almost to the point of trying to write to the REST API myself, the app seems unusable.

I had the same error in post 1, did "apt-get install qemu" and puted "export OS_VOLUME_API_VERSION=2" in RC file. Here is a WARNING from /var/log/glance/glance-api.log":

WARNING keystonemiddleware.auth_token [-] Authorization failed for token
similar WARNING in "/var/log/keystone/admin.log" :
WARNING keystone.common.wsgi [-] Authorization failed. The request you have made requires authentication. from 127.0.0.1

You can probably ignore what follows. I found that things simply broke shortly after this so I don't know if any of what follows is valid. (Although I think you've got to install qemu)

I don't have a complete answer yet, but I'm getting close... On a wild guess, I searched the internet for converting an img to qcow2 format. This led me to documentation that said to use qemu-img. I then installed qemu "apt-get install qemu". Just for grins I decided to try the documented command of

glance image-create --name "cirros-0.3.4-x86_64" --file test-images/cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --visibility public --progress

and got a different set of errors.

Then I ran into a, what I'm finding as typical, problem of environment variables, specifically OS_AUTH_TOKEN, OS_PASSWORD and OS_USERNAME not being set. Once having set those to valid/current values I had it narrowed down to one error--visibility public being called out as an invalid parameter.

I removed the "-visibility public" option/argument and managed to see this.

glance image-create --name "cirros-0.3.4-x86_64" --file test-images/cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --progress

[=============================>] 100%

Invalid OpenStack Identity credentials.

So I'm getting closer.

I have problems with the "glance" user that the doc has you create. I can't authenticate that user. That may be my problem, I'm not sure. I tried to run this as the admin user using the admin tenant/project rather than the "service" project they tell you to create.

Hopefully this helps someone get closer to solving the problem.

How I do it.

cat openrc
export OS_TENANT_NAME=admin
export OS_USERNAME=admin
export OS_PASSWORD=yourpasswordhere
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://1.2.3.4:35357/v2.0
export OS_IMAGE_API_VERSION=2

source openrc

glance --os-endpoint-type internal image-create --name "cirros 0.3.4 x86_64" --file cirros-0.3.3-x86_64-disk.img --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --visibility public --progress

You can ignore the part where I force the usage of the internalURL catalog entry from keystone, you should try adding --debug to your glance image-create command and perhaps it will give you some more useful data.

Best regards

I have the same environment variables set. I ran glance --os-endpoint-type internal image-create --name "cirros-0.3.4" --is-public true --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare -v --file test-images/cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img and got glance: error: unrecognized arguments: --name --is-public tru

glance: error: unrecognized arguments: --name --is-public true --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare -v

I really do appreciate all of the responses!

swdweeb ( 2015-08-27 10:42:36 -0500 )edit

I added --debug glance image-create --name cirros-0.3.4 --is-public true --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --debug --file /home/perry/test-images/cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img

To get glance CLI working export admin credentials
[root@vfedora22wks root]# cat keystonerc_admin

unset OS_SERVICE_TOKEN
export OS_USERNAME=admin
export OS_PASSWORD=ea5c23c58f15494a
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://192.168.1.57:5000/v2.0
export PS1='[\u@\h \W(keystone_admin)]\$ '

export OS_TENANT_NAME=admin
export OS_REGION_NAME=RegionOne

Then

# source keystonerc_admin
# glance image-create --name "CentOS  7.1" --is-public true --disk-format qcow2 \
          --container-format bare \
          --file CentOS71.qcow2

Right, and where do I get a keystonerc_admin file to source? What's in it? The documentation has you create admin-openrc.sh and demo-openrc.sh files that can be sourced but nowhere in the document is keystonerc_admin mentioned.

Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate your response, I'm frustrated.

Abovt RC files, take a look here: http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/common/cli_set_environment_variables_using_openstack_rc.html (http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/...).

tiagoor ( 2015-08-26 19:57:21 -0500 )edit

I found a version on a redhat site. There was only one additional environment variable than what I had. I added it and still cannot get it to run.

swdweeb ( 2015-08-27 10:44:20 -0500 )edit

Thanks. I've done exactly as you suggested and get Invalid "OpenStack Identity credentials." Any attempt to add --debug to the command gets me "glance: error: unrecognized arguments: --debug" I'm sure it's a problem with a combination of environment variables and CLI args

Hi,

I had the same error.

glance: error: unrecognized arguments: --name --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --visibility public

In my case, I miss configuration about keystone_authtoken configuration, I misspell a password about glance keystone account. When I fixed a keystone.conf with a right config, Above error was deleted.
