Hello,

I have a VM Instacne (ServerA) running on KVM hypervisor, I want to 
Launch the same VM in Openstack by adding its disk image to glance.

Followed these steps:

1. Copied (ServerA) VM disk image to my openstack server. Image type 
shows as qcow2.

/root at oscontroller-desktop:/home/os-controller# qemu-img info disk//
//image: disk//
//file format: //*qcow2*//
//virtual size: 10G (10737418240 bytes)//
//disk size: 9.8G//
//cluster_size: 2097152//
//backing file: 
/var/lib/nova/instances/_base/902ba3cda1883801594b6e1b452790cc53948fda//
/
2. And added disk image to glance,

/root at oscontroller-desktop:/home/os-controller# glance image-list
+--------------------------------------+-------------------------+-------------+------------------+-------------+--------+
| ID                                   | Name | Disk Format | Container 
Format | Size        | Status |
+--------------------------------------+-------------------------+-------------+------------------+-------------+--------+
| 1214e050-5445-49af-a35f-0f01071ae83f | ubuntu-precise-21012013 | 
qcow2       | bare             | 250019840   | active |
| 2f9dfb90-6a1f-4226-8cac-d85d4f6b2258 | jenkins-disk-img | qcow2       
| bare             | 10546577408 | active |/

3. But While Launching the VM in Openstack, State goes to Error.

 From nova-compute logs, i see the image is unacceptable Error. Do i 
need convert the KVM VM image to different type ? Plz let me know is 
there any other ways of doing it.
