First, download some images that are known to work with OpenStack. The smallest test image is a tty testing image with a username/password of root/password. You can get it from http://images.ansolabs.com/tty.tgz. This is the image we'll use for this walkthrough.
Create a directory to house your image files.
sudo mkdir stackimages
Download the tty image into your stackimages directory.
sudo wget -c http://images.ansolabs.com/tty.tgz -O stackimages/tty.tgz
Now expand the image.
sudo tar -zxf stackimages/tty.tgz -C stackimages
You can get a token in order to upload images using this curl command.
curl -d '{"auth":{"passwordCredentials":{"username": "adminUser", "password": "secretword"}}}' -H "Content-type: application/json" http://192.168.206.130:35357/v2.0/tokens | python -mjson.tool
Now add the kernel image to the Image Service with glance add commands. In this case we're hard-coding the kernel_id and ramdisk_id values in the third command, but for additional images, you need to get the return values for the first two commands to enter into the third command.
glance add -A d1819479-be8b-451d-8682-82c654502ddb name="tty-kernel" is_public=true container_format=aki disk_format=aki < stackimages/aki-tty/image glance add -A d1819479-be8b-451d-8682-82c654502ddb name="tty-ramdisk" is_public=true container_format=ari disk_format=ari < stackimages/ari-tty/image glance add -A d1819479-be8b-451d-8682-82c654502ddb name="tty" is_public=true container_format=ami disk_format=ami kernel_id=1 ramdisk_id=2 < stackimages/ami-tty/image
For other images, you can get Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10) at http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/oneiric/current/oneiric-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img.
You can ensure that your Image service has indexed these images by using the glance CLI with an authorization token:
glance -A c9640d83-ef4f-4718-a0c2-32437a931196 index
In return you should see a listing of images. Here's an example.
ID Name Disk Format Container Format Size
---------------- ------------------------------ -------------------- -------------------- --------------
3 tty ami ami 25165824
2 tty-ramdisk ari ari 5882349
1 tty-kernel aki aki 4404752
If you see an ECONNREFUSED error in return, it means your glance-registry.conf file is incorrectly configured. Double-check and compare to the file in the Appendix. If you get a 401 Unauthorized error, check your environment variables.
