[Openstack] How to create image for first instance (CentOS 6.4)

No matter how I work this I cant seem to create a Centos 6.4 image correctly.

I can create a new instance using the qcow2 image I uploaded to Openstack, but after booting the instance there is no NICs attached.
Should I be using a different formatting than qcow2?


I used this doc to create the image -> http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-image/content/centos-image.html

Thanks for all your replies.

I guess I don't understand this a bit. I created a new VM with virt-manager then imported the qcow2 file to the glance server, but after deploying an instance from the image, I have no existing network adapters or any other attached virtual hardware it seems.

What am I missing here?

Yes it's ok.
Or you can use another computer with virt-manager installed which supports running windows virtual machines on it. In other words another computer with cpu with virtualization feature + kvm + virt-manager.
If you use the option with another computer you will have to copy the resulted qcow2 file resulted from the installation of win7 with virtio drivers for net and disk from the computer with virt-manager to the glance server.


Regards,
Gabriel

I saw that but I don't have virt-manager on my compute node. 

Is it ok to install it?
