Do not support vhdx?

[Stuart McLaren (stuart-mclaren)]

Yes, glance supports vhdx (for versions which have this patch: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/347352).

Check your glance configuration to verify which image formats have been configured on your system.

For Glance the relevant properties are:

# Supported values for the 'container_format' image attribute
#container_formats=ami,ari,aki,bare,ovf,ova

# Supported values for the 'disk_format' image attribute
#disk_formats=ami,ari,aki,vhd,vhdx,vmdk,raw,qcow2,vdi,iso

By default (ie if these parameters are commented out, all formats are supported.)

[Brian Rosmaita (brian-rosmaita)]

See Stuart's comment above. This is a configuration issue. Note also that not all clouds may support vhdx -- the supported formats are determined by the operator. 'vhdx' has been a default supported option since the Newton release.
