I have configured openstack controller in 192.168.1.10

I have NFS server configured in 192.168.1.20 and in the same machine /images I want to store all the images which will be created by "glance image-create" command .. I have put cirros-0.3.3-x86_64-disk.img file in /images folder in 192.168.1.20 and /images folder is mountable...

Currently the default path of the "glance image-create" is /var/lib/glance/images (which is openstack's default) in 192.168.1.10 where I have configured the controller

The NFS server at 192.168.1.20 will be dedicated for images..

In controller that is 192.168.1.10 I have mounted 192.168.1.20's/images folder in /images.

So to configure as above I changed the glance-api.conf file as " .... [glance_store] ..... filesystem_store_datadir = /images ..... " So now cirros-0.3.3-x86_64-disk.img is available in /images in 192.168.1.10 Now when I am doing glance image-create --name "cirros-0.3.3-x86_64_nfs" --file /images/cirros-0.3.3-x86_64-disk.img --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --is-public True --progress at the terminal of controller

It is giving error

<html> <head> <title>410 Gone</title> </head> <body>

410 Gone

Error in store configuration. Adding images to store is disabled.

</body> </html> (HTTP N/A)

So how to configure the glance for my above situation ??

Here is my glance-api.conf

[DEFAULT] notification_driver = noop verbose = True

[database] connection = mysql://glance:myglance@controller/glance

[keystone_authtoken] auth_uri = http://controller:5000/v2.0 identity_uri = http://controller:35357 admin_tenant_name = service admin_user = glance admin_password = glance96

[paste_deploy] flavor = keystone

[store_type_location_strategy]

[profiler] [task] [glance_store] default_store = file filesystem_store_datadir = /images/

Is that configuration Okay??

Here is the log file /var/log/glance/api.log

yes it is running ... I restarted glance api and regitry services both.. after modifying the glance-api.conf file

The log from /var/log/glance/api.log .. but donno what is the solution for the above :-(

Did you try to write something to /images as a normal user ? Maybe glance doesn't have permissions to /images.

This is the URL which I tried https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/81632/glance-error-in-store-configuration-adding-images-to-store-is-disabled/ (https://ask.openstack.org/en/question...). I created a user in 192.168.1.20 glance and changed the owner ship of /images folder from root to glance . still same error while image create command

You don't even have to configure NFS to store images in a remote machine. Lets say your controller node is 192.168.1.10, and the node where the image is stored in 192.168.1.20 in the directory /var/lib/libvirt/images (lets suppose). Change to this directory in 192.168.1.20. Now run python -m SimpleHTTPServer. Now, in the controller node, (where glance-api is running), run the glance image command for your cirros image similar to this: glance image-create --name "cirros-0.3.3-x86_64_nfs" --location http://192.168.1.20:8000/cirros-0.3.3... --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --is-public True -- Make sure you allow port 8000 for incoming traffic in the 192.168.1.20 node as python server runs on port 8000 by default.

Worked like a charm .. but where the created image is getting stored .. I checked /var/lib/glance/images in controller.. the created image was not there.. do you have any idea where it might be?? although from the dashboard the generated image is accessible .. :-)

That is what even I don't know as of now. I found that there is a "--location" command that can be specified with glance image-create command, so I tried to do that by using a python server. Since the image is accessible, I did not research more about it. If you find anything, please let me know.

Hey I found where the created images are being stored .. the path which you give in filesystem_store_datadir in glance-api.conf the created images will be stored in that folder only.. I knew before but it was not storing in /images becauses it was unmounted .. I mounted /images and now all fine

fnawaz gravatar imagefnawaz ( 2015-12-24 00:37:38 -0600 )edit

now I am able to store created images in remote machine also .. we need to give the mounted directory path to filesystem_store_data_datadir .. in controller

mount 192.168.1.20:/tmp/images /images

then in glance api-conf filesystem_store_datadir=/images thats it..

Great! I am not very concerned about the images other the using it for the VMs, so I am not very concerned where it is stored, as long as its usable. Thank you anyways.
