1.2.8. Storing an image in RAW format

Procedure

• With the GlanceImageImportPlugins parameter enabled, run the following command to upload a QCOW2 image and automatically convert it to RAW format.

  $ glance image-create-via-import \
      --disk-format qcow2 \
      --container-format bare \
      --name <name> \
      --visibility public \
      --import-method web-download \
      --uri <http://server/image.qcow2>

• Replace <name> with the name of the image; this is the name that appears in openstack image list.
• For --uri, replace <http://server/image.qcow2> with the location and file name of the QCOW2 image.
