Open Stack

By the way,

I forgot to mention that the disk_image was originally created by HyperV 2008 R2
in a VHDX format.

And when I uploaded it with *glance image-create*, i set it up for the
format as "vhd"
and the container as "bare".

I also noticed that after the "nova boot" deployed the disk image to
the hyper-v server, it
was in vhd format (as I specified during glance image-create), but I
wasn't able to import
it on hyper-v (I had got an error saying the image metadata could not
be retrieved) or that
the disk image was corrupted.


Should it have worked?

Thanks
