(Kilo) Glance image-create missing parameters

Asked by Greg

I am on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and am trying to set up Glance for the Kilo version. I get the following error when trying to verify that Glance works:

root@OSControl:~# glance image-create --name "cirros-0.3.4-x86_64" --file /tmp/images/cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img \
> --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --visibility public --progress

glance: error: unrecognized arguments: --name --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --visibility public

And when I go to see what parameters are available, I got this:

root@OSControl:~# glance image-create
usage: glance image-create [--property <key=value>] [--file <FILE>]
                           [--progress]
                           <unavailable>
glance image-create: error: too few arguments

I tried reinstalling it but always get stuck here

Weird.

How did you install the glance client?

What does glance --version show?

Greg (greg-kinley) said :

I installed it using

apt-get install -y glance python-glanceclient

the output of glance --version:

root@OSControl:~# glance --version

I switched to single quotes and used "=" in the syntax and got a different error:

Thanks for the response. So did you just skip that section? Did this cause any issues later on in the installation \ configurations?

Does adding '--debug' give any extra information about the 404 response?

Seems like there might be a issue with the parameters provided.

Please use --is-public or --is-protected instead of the --visibility flag and let us know if the issue persists.

Stuart,

there wasn't a debug option, but it did allow me to put "-d" however, that did not give me anything

Nikhil, changed the option and issue persisted

On an Ubuntu 14.04 machine I checked out the 0.15.0 client code and pip installed it into a virtual env.
I had to make the following change to requirements.txt

$ git diff requirements.txt
diff --git a/requirements.txt b/requirements.txt

I was able to run the following command to successfully upload an image:

$ glance --debug --os-tenant-name=<snip> --os-username=<snip> --os-auth-url=https://<snip>:35357/v2.0 --os-region <snip> image-create --name test_image --disk-format raw --container-format bare --file /tmp/smallfile --progress

This showed various debug output, including the various HTTP requests/responses.

$ glance --version
0.15.0

It's not clear why you don't see a --debug option.

Can you cut and paste the command above, substituting your credentials (unset any environment variables) and paste the output to this bug?

All,

I have found a resolution. It appears glance is not parsing " correctly. Just remove quotation from the image name and it should be good to go.

Having quotes around the image name works fine for me.

I changed my command above to have:

 --name "test_image"

and it worked fine.

What happens if -- as both myself and Nikhil have suggested -- you remove the '--visibility' flag?

ie cut and paste the following:

glance image-create --name cirros-0.3.4-x86_64 --file /tmp/images/cirros-0.3.4-x86_64.img --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare

Are you running glance 0.19.0 on Ubuntu 14.04? This is definitely frustrating. I'm going to go back and triple check the configuration of glance. I've been following the "OpenStack installation guide for Ubuntu 14.04" (KILO revision). So it's possible i've missed something.

Hi, apparently this problem is related to authentication issues, as described here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/glance/+bug/1467719
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/194076/

The problem is that the error message doesn't have anything to do with the problem itself. One thinks is a syntax problem and it isn't. It's an authentication problem. I'm still trying to solve this.

New developments:

Checking the log /var/log/glance/glance-api.log, I found these messages that confirm that this is exactly a problem about authenticantion.

Hello,

Just have the same problem, and found it was because i have define an http_proxy variable. ( in order to install glance package )

The proxy cannot acces the controler apache server.

I Just unset the http_proxy and everything went fine

Greg (greg-kinley) said :

That solved my problem. I unset the proxy after downloading the image and used the following command (i had tried different syntax)

glance image-create --name="cirros-0.3.4-x86_64" --file /tmp/images/cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --visibility public --progress

Today, I have the same problem, and then I found "glance image-list" command was also error, it has error output. So I found my "glance-registry" service was stopped.

I started the service, then "glance image-create" is OK.

i solved this problem, So i'm just set password for glance user "glancepassword"

Openstack install guide's default password was "password = GLANCE_PASS"

so just replace this password as your given glance user password in /etc/glance/glance-api.conf and /etc/glance/glance-registry.conf

From what I can tell, the ultimate issue here was (1) an authentication problem due to environment misconfiguration, combined with (2) a misleading error message from the python-glanceclient.

There are a multitude of ways (1) can occur; some of these are mentioned in the above discussion.

The misleading error message (2) was fixed in the openstack/python-glanceclient 1.1.1 release. The patch is:
    https://review.openstack.org/#/c/194076/
