Hello, Thanks a lot for the hint. On Tue, Oct 8, 2024 at 3:21 PM Takashi Kajinami <kajinamit@oss.nttdata.com> wrote:
The problem with you code is that it hits glance api to create these images but it should use nova api instead. I think the correct interface is server.create_image so the code may look like
servers = openstack_connection.compute.servers(details=True, hostname='my_server'): openstack_connection.compute.create_server_image(servers[0], image_name, metadata)
IIRC the image may inherit the properties of the source image you initially used to launch these instances, so you may need to call openstack_connection.image.update_image to add the properties you want to add.
# by the way "servers = servers[0]" and "images = images[0]" look quite confusing # because you use plural for both and I may suggest "serer = servers[0]".

Hello, this is my full code to create a snapshot from an instance.
The code creates a new image with type snapshot, but after around 2 hours, its status is still in queue. But when I create another snapshot via the Openstack UI, it works fine.
Would you please help me how can I create a snapshot?
import openstack import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.now() today = now.strftime('%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S') openstack.enable_logging(debug=False) servers = [] images = [] openstack_connection = openstack.connect(cloud='region1') # clouds.yaml for server in openstack_connection.compute.servers(details=True, hostname='my_server'): servers.append(server.to_dict())
servers = servers[0] for image in openstack_connection.compute.images(details=True, id=servers['image']['id']): images.append(image.to_dict())
images = images[0] name = f'my_server_{today}' openstack_connection.image.create_image( name=name, disk_format='raw', container_format='bare', visibility='private', timeout=1, properties={ 'hw_disk_bus': 'scsi', 'hw_qemu_guest_agent': 'yes', 'hw_scsi_model': 'virtio-scsi', 'hw_watchdog_action': 'reset', 'base_image_ref': servers['image']['id'], 'owner_user_name': 'whmcs', 'owner_project_name': 'admin', 'boot_roles': 'admin,reader,member', 'os_admin_user': 'administrator', 'os_distro': 'windows', 'os_type': 'windows', 'owner_specified.openstack.object': images['metadata']['owner_specified.openstack.object'], 'clean_attempts': '1', 'hw_machine_type': 'pc', 'password_0': '', 'password_1': '', 'password_2': '', 'password_3': '', 'hw_cdrom_bus': 'ide', 'hw_input_bus': 'usb', 'hw_pointer_model': 'usbtablet', 'hw_video_model': 'virtio', 'hw_vif_model': 'virtio', 'instance_uuid': servers['id'], 'image_type': 'snapshot', } )
