Hello,

I got an error about the glance CLI tool <hich does not recognise the subcommand add !
Here is the trace of the script :

This is because devstack uses the new python-glanceclient CLI by default instead of the legacy CLI.

The equivalent command with the new CLI would be:

  glance image-create --name cirros-0.3.0-x86_64-uec-kernel --public --container_format=aki --disk_format=aki

If you really want to use the legacy version, you call it directly from /opt/stack/glance/bin/glance. But note that this will be removed for the Folsom release so it would make sense to get used to the new CLI.

Can you help with this problem?
