[kolla-ansible][wallaby][glance] Problem with image list after reconfigure

ok ... I got it ... and I think I was doing things wrong.
Okay, so I have another question.
My cinder storage is on an iscsi bay.
I have 3 servers, S1, S2, S2.
Compute is on S1, S2, S3.
Controller is on S1 and S2.
Storage is on S3.
I have Glance on S1. Building an instance from an image is too long, so you have to make a volume first.
If I put the images on the iSCSI bay, I mount a directory in the S1 file system, will the images build faster? Much faster ?
Is this a good idea or not?

Thank you again for your help and your experience

> Normally, I have 2 servers with the role [glance] but I noticed that all my images were on the first server (in / var / lib / docker / volumes / glance / _data / images) before the reconfigure, none on the second. But since the reconfiguration, the images are placed on the second, and no longer on the first. I do not understand why. I haven't changed anything to the multinode file.
> so, to get out of this situation quickly as I need this openstack for the students, I modified the multinode file and put only one server in [glance] (I put server 1, the one that had the images before reconfigure), I did a reconfigure -t glance and now I have my images usable for instances.
