OpenStack Compute (nova)

Need Nova use Glance?

Asked by Kenji Kobayashi

I would like to use LocalImageService.
So I set "--image_service=nova.image.local.LocalImageService".
But I am getting the following error, when I try to start nova-api.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# nova-api --flagfile /etc/nova/nova.conf
...
(nova): TRACE: ClassNotFound: Class LocalImageService could not be found
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Need Nova use Glance?
And need Nova use Swift or S3 as Storage to store image file?

The LocalImageService has been removed in favor of using Glance.

Nova currently requires use of Glance which support a variety of backends including swift, s3, http, and local image storage.

Hope this helps.
