Glance Image Service connector ignores kernel and ramdisk properties in Glance

[Chris Hoge]

The Glance Image Service connector, in https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/image/glance.py, does not support associated kernel and ramdisk properties for disk images.

Compare to the S3 connector, in https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/image/s3.py, which looks for kernel and ramdisk properties.

This results in failed image booting with 'nova boot'. The kernel and ramdisk images are not downloaded, and the associated variables in the libvirt xml file are not set.

[Brian Waldon (bcwaldon)]

Can you show the commands you used to upload the images?

[Chris Hoge (hoge)]

The kernel and ramdisk ids in the third line match the ones assigned by glance.

glance add disk_format=aki container_format=aki name="Scientific Linux 6.1 Kernel" is_public=True < vmlinuz-2.6.32-220.4.1.el6.x86_64
glance add disk_format=ari container_format=ari name="Scientific Linux 6.1 Bootloader" is_public=True < initramfs-2.6.32-220.4.1.el6.x86_64.img

[Brian Waldon (bcwaldon)]

You need to use 'kernel_id' and 'ramdisk_id' in your third 'glance add ...' call

[Chris Hoge (hoge)]

Ah, it looks like a problem with the Glance documentation.

http://glance.openstack.org/glance.html

Sorry for the false alarm.

[Brian Waldon (bcwaldon)]

No worries, I'm glad you found this problem with the documentation. Can you confirm that using kernel_id and ramdisk_id works for you?

[Chris Hoge (hoge)]

Just finished confirming it. Works great for me now. Thanks!

[Brian Waldon (bcwaldon)]

Ok, so 'fix' this bug I'll just update the docs.
