Hi,
While creating the snapshot , it will access /var/lib/nova/instances/snapshots. It will create temporary file while doing snapshots
After that snapshot file will be stored as glance image i.e it will be stored in path used by glance image service. /var/lib/glance/images
You can get more information from nova-compute.log while snapshot process
From the following command you can find the list of images uploaded in the environment.
Check the images list and if you want to download the image from the image list user the following command,
it will download the image into the location where you execute the command
Completed snapshot files are located /var/lib/glance/images/ on controller node. The file names are UUIDs of glance images, you can check via glance image-list-command.
This is useful if you want to migrate snapshot to another host. After migrating snapshot file you may add it to your glance images via glance image-create-command.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
