Thanks All for replies. Using the glance cli:

[root at c7-openstack images]# glance image-create --name=CentOS-6.6
--disk-format=qcow2 --container-format=bare --is-public=true --file 
CentOS-6-x86_64-GenericCloud.qcow2

This command is not completing ... how long normally should it take ?

>From another shell, glance shows status is queued ... vmstat shows
nothing heavy going on the disks. Any thoughts ?

[root at c7-openstack ~]# glance image-list
+--------------------------------------+------------+-------------+------------------+------------+--------+
