Upload Image Into GlanceΒΆ

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’
  1. 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.
