Upload Image Into Glance
========================

To deploy applications with Murano, virtual machine images should be uploaded into Glance in a special way - *murano_image_info* property should be set

1. Use the glance image-create command to import your disk image to
   Glance:

   ::

       >$ glance image-create --name <NAME>  --is-public true --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --file <IMAGE_FILE> --property <IMAGE_METADATA>

Replace the command line arguments to glance image-create with the
appropriate values for your environment and disk image:

*  Replace **<NAME>** with the name that users will refer to the disk
   image by. E.g. '**ws-2012-std**\ '

*  Replace **<IMAGE\_FILE>** with the local path to the image file to
   upload. E.g. '**ws-2012-std.qcow2**\ '.

*  Replace **<IMAGE\_METADATA>** with the following property string

   ::

       murano_image_info='{"title": "Windows 2012 Standart Edition", "type": "windows.2012"}'

   where

   *  title - user-friendly description of the image
   *  type - is a image type, for example 'windows.2012'

2. To update metadata of the existing image run the command:

    ::

    >$ glance image-update <IMAGE-ID> --property <IMAGE_MATADATA>

*  Replace **<IMAGE-ID>** with image id from the previous command
   output.

*  Replace **<IMAGE\_METADATA>** with murano\_image\_info property, e.g.

   ::

       murano_image_info='{"title": "Windows 2012 Standart Edition", "type": "windows.2012"}'

**Warning**

    The value of the **--property** argument named
    **murano\_image\_info** is a JSON string. Only double quotes are
    valid in JSON, so please type the string exactly as in the example
    above.

**Note**

Already existing image could be marked in a simple way in Horizon UI with Murano dashboard installed. Navigate to *Murano -> Manage -> Images -> Mark Image* and fill up a form:

-  **Image** - ws-2012-std

-  **Title** - My Prepared Image

-  **Type** - Windows Server 2012

After these steps desired image can be chosen in application creation wizard.
