How to export a snapshot to another cloud?

Asked by Michael Hempel

Hi,
I've created a snapshot of a configured CentOS6 imageon my test-install and want to move it to another cloud.
Then I located the image file on the disk and copied it over.
I added it to glance with:

glance add -A ******* name="haproxy-centos6" is_public=true container_format=ami disk_format=ami kernel_id=3 ramdisk_id=4< haproxy-centos6.img

using the same initram and kernel from the clean centos. When I spin it up, it switches to active, but I can't connect to it.
The standard centos starts up without problems.
Should I add it as raw-image?
Regards,
Michael

We wrote a script that does this. Have a look at

https://github.com/canarie/dair/blob/master/OpenStack/glance/glance-transfer-images.py

Note that this was written against the Cactus version of Glance.
