1.2.8. Storing an image in RAW format

Procedure

  • With the GlanceImageImportPlugins parameter enabled, run the following command to upload a QCOW2 image and automatically convert it to RAW format. 

    $ glance image-create-via-import \
    --disk-format qcow2 \
    --container-format bare \
    --name <name> \
    --visibility public \
    --import-method web-download \
    --uri <http://server/image.qcow2>
  • Replace <name> with the name of the image; this is the name that appears in openstack image list.
  • For --uri, replace <http://server/image.qcow2> with the location and file name of the QCOW2 image.
注記

This example command creates the image record and imports it by using the web-download method. The glance-api downloads the image from the --uri location during the import process. If web-download is not available, glanceclient cannot automatically download the image data. Run the glance import-info command to list the available image import methods.
