Hi Narinder!

A few steps we could try to debug this:

1) Would you mind converting the Windows image to RAW (it's a good idea to have all images as RAW, as that's the native ceph storage - allows CoW) and uploading it to glance again. This would avoid downloading the image to /tmp and allow ironic to stream it directly to the block device. It should be considerably faster.

2) It would also be interesting to know what kind of download speeds you have. Looking at the log you attached, it seems you're getting a "connect timeout" while attempting to download the image. This would suggest connectivity issues between the node that ironic agent is running on and trying to install, and swift. Perhaps a misconfigured port? But if you have around 4 GB downloaded, this may just be a misleading message (?)

3) As a debug step, could you try to ssh into the deploying instance and attempt to manually download the image using the same temp URL ironic agent is trying to fetch? Curl/wget should work.
