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 - murano image type, see Murano Image Types

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.
