DEFAULT

allow_additional_image_properties

Type:boolean Default:true

Allow users to add additional/custom properties to images. Glance defines a standard set of properties (in its schema) that appear on every image. These properties are also known as base properties. In addition to these properties, Glance allows users to add custom properties to images. These are known as additional properties. By default, this configuration option is set to True and users are allowed to add additional properties. The number of additional properties that can be added to an image can be controlled via image_property_quota configuration option. Possible values: * True * False Related options: * image_property_quota

image_member_quota

Type:integer Default:128

Maximum number of image members per image. This limits the maximum of users an image can be shared with. Any negative value is interpreted as unlimited. Related options: * None

image_property_quota

Type:integer Default:128

Maximum number of properties allowed on an image. This enforces an upper limit on the number of additional properties an image can have. Any negative value is interpreted as unlimited. NOTE: This won’t have any impact if additional properties are disabled. Please refer to allow_additional_image_properties. Related options: * allow_additional_image_properties

image_tag_quota

Type:integer Default:128

Maximum number of tags allowed on an image. Any negative value is interpreted as unlimited. Related options: * None

image_location_quota

Type:integer Default:10

Maximum number of locations allowed on an image. Any negative value is interpreted as unlimited. Related options: * None

data_api

Type:string Default:glance.db.sqlalchemy.api

Python module path of data access API. Specifies the path to the API to use for accessing the data model. This option determines how the image catalog data will be accessed. Possible values: * glance.db.sqlalchemy.api * glance.db.registry.api * glance.db.simple.api If this option is set to glance.db.sqlalchemy.api then the image catalog data is stored in and read from the database via the SQLAlchemy Core and ORM APIs. Setting this option to glance.db.registry.api will force all database access requests to be routed through the Registry service. This avoids data access from the Glance API nodes for an added layer of security, scalability and manageability. NOTE: In v2 OpenStack Images API, the registry service is optional. In order to use the Registry API in v2, the option enable_v2_registry must be set to True. Finally, when this configuration option is set to glance.db.simple.api, image catalog data is stored in and read from an in-memory data structure. This is primarily used for testing. Related options: * enable_v2_api * enable_v2_registry

limit_param_default

Type:integer Default:25 Minimum Value:1

The default number of results to return for a request. Responses to certain API requests, like list images, may return multiple items. The number of results returned can be explicitly controlled by specifying the limit parameter in the API request. However, if a limit parameter is not specified, this configuration value will be used as the default number of results to be returned for any API request. NOTES: * The value of this configuration option may not be greater than the value specified by api_limit_max. * Setting this to a very large value may slow down database queries and increase response times. Setting this to a very low value may result in poor user experience. Possible values: * Any positive integer Related options: * api_limit_max

api_limit_max

Type:integer Default:1000 Minimum Value:1

Maximum number of results that could be returned by a request. As described in the help text of limit_param_default, some requests may return multiple results. The number of results to be returned are governed either by the limit parameter in the request or the limit_param_default configuration option. The value in either case, can’t be greater than the absolute maximum defined by this configuration option. Anything greater than this value is trimmed down to the maximum value defined here. NOTE: Setting this to a very large value may slow down database queries and increase response times. Setting this to a very low value may result in poor user experience. Possible values: * Any positive integer Related options: * limit_param_default

show_image_direct_url

Type:boolean Default:false

Show direct image location when returning an image. This configuration option indicates whether to show the direct image location when returning image details to the user. The direct image location is where the image data is stored in backend storage. This image location is shown under the image property direct_url. When multiple image locations exist for an image, the best location is displayed based on the location strategy indicated by the configuration option location_strategy. NOTES: * Revealing image locations can present a GRAVE SECURITY RISK as image locations can sometimes include credentials. Hence, this is set to False by default. Set this to True with EXTREME CAUTION and ONLY IF you know what you are doing! * If an operator wishes to avoid showing any image location(s) to the user, then both this option and show_multiple_locations MUST be set to False. Possible values: * True * False Related options: * show_multiple_locations * location_strategy

show_multiple_locations

Type:boolean Default:false

Show all image locations when returning an image. This configuration option indicates whether to show all the image locations when returning image details to the user. When multiple image locations exist for an image, the locations are ordered based on the location strategy indicated by the configuration opt location_strategy. The image locations are shown under the image property locations. NOTES: * Revealing image locations can present a GRAVE SECURITY RISK as image locations can sometimes include credentials. Hence, this is set to False by default. Set this to True with EXTREME CAUTION and ONLY IF you know what you are doing! * If an operator wishes to avoid showing any image location(s) to the user, then both this option and show_image_direct_url MUST be set to False. Possible values: * True * False Related options: * show_image_direct_url * location_strategy

Warning

This option is deprecated for removal since Newton. Its value may be silently ignored in the future.

Reason:This option will be removed in the Pike release or later because the same functionality can be achieved with greater granularity by using policies. Please see the Newton release notes for more information.

image_size_cap

Type:integer Default:1099511627776 Minimum Value:1 Maximum Value:9223372036854775808

Maximum size of image a user can upload in bytes. An image upload greater than the size mentioned here would result in an image creation failure. This configuration option defaults to 1099511627776 bytes (1 TiB). NOTES: * This value should only be increased after careful consideration and must be set less than or equal to 8 EiB (9223372036854775808). * This value must be set with careful consideration of the backend storage capacity. Setting this to a very low value may result in a large number of image failures. And, setting this to a very large value may result in faster consumption of storage. Hence, this must be set according to the nature of images created and storage capacity available. Possible values: * Any positive number less than or equal to 9223372036854775808

user_storage_quota

Type:string Default:0

Maximum amount of image storage per tenant. This enforces an upper limit on the cumulative storage consumed by all images of a tenant across all stores. This is a per-tenant limit. The default unit for this configuration option is Bytes. However, storage units can be specified using case-sensitive literals B, KB, MB, GB and TB representing Bytes, KiloBytes, MegaBytes, GigaBytes and TeraBytes respectively. Note that there should not be any space between the value and unit. Value 0 signifies no quota enforcement. Negative values are invalid and result in errors. Possible values: * A string that is a valid concatenation of a non-negative integer representing the storage value and an optional string literal representing storage units as mentioned above. Related options: * None

enable_v1_api

Type:boolean Default:true

Deploy the v1 OpenStack Images API. When this option is set to True, Glance service will respond to requests on registered endpoints conforming to the v1 OpenStack Images API. NOTES: * If this option is enabled, then enable_v1_registry must also be set to True to enable mandatory usage of Registry service with v1 API. * If this option is disabled, then the enable_v1_registry option, which is enabled by default, is also recommended to be disabled. * This option is separate from enable_v2_api, both v1 and v2 OpenStack Images API can be deployed independent of each other. * If deploying only the v2 Images API, this option, which is enabled by default, should be disabled. Possible values: * True * False Related options: * enable_v1_registry * enable_v2_api

enable_v2_api

Type:boolean Default:true

Deploy the v2 OpenStack Images API. When this option is set to True, Glance service will respond to requests on registered endpoints conforming to the v2 OpenStack Images API. NOTES: * If this option is disabled, then the enable_v2_registry option, which is enabled by default, is also recommended to be disabled. * This option is separate from enable_v1_api, both v1 and v2 OpenStack Images API can be deployed independent of each other. * If deploying only the v1 Images API, this option, which is enabled by default, should be disabled. Possible values: * True * False Related options: * enable_v2_registry * enable_v1_api

enable_v1_registry

Type:boolean Default:true

Deploy the v1 API Registry service. When this option is set to True, the Registry service will be enabled in Glance for v1 API requests. NOTES: * Use of Registry is mandatory in v1 API, so this option must be set to True if the enable_v1_api option is enabled. * If deploying only the v2 OpenStack Images API, this option, which is enabled by default, should be disabled. Possible values: * True * False Related options: * enable_v1_api

enable_v2_registry

Type:boolean Default:true

Deploy the v2 API Registry service. When this option is set to True, the Registry service will be enabled in Glance for v2 API requests. NOTES: * Use of Registry is optional in v2 API, so this option must only be enabled if both enable_v2_api is set to True and the data_api option is set to glance.db.registry.api. * If deploying only the v1 OpenStack Images API, this option, which is enabled by default, should be disabled. Possible values: * True * False Related options: * enable_v2_api * data_api

pydev_worker_debug_host

Type:string Default:localhost

Host address of the pydev server. Provide a string value representing the hostname or IP of the pydev server to use for debugging. The pydev server listens for debug connections on this address, facilitating remote debugging in Glance. Possible values: * Valid hostname * Valid IP address Related options: * None

pydev_worker_debug_port

Type:port number Default:5678 Minimum Value:0 Maximum Value:65535

Port number that the pydev server will listen on. Provide a port number to bind the pydev server to. The pydev process accepts debug connections on this port and facilitates remote debugging in Glance. Possible values: * A valid port number Related options: * None

metadata_encryption_key

Type:string Default:<None>

AES key for encrypting store location metadata. Provide a string value representing the AES cipher to use for encrypting Glance store metadata. NOTE: The AES key to use must be set to a random string of length 16, 24 or 32 bytes. Possible values: * String value representing a valid AES key Related options: * None

digest_algorithm

Type:string Default:sha256

Digest algorithm to use for digital signature. Provide a string value representing the digest algorithm to use for generating digital signatures. By default, sha256 is used. To get a list of the available algorithms supported by the version of OpenSSL on your platform, run the command: openssl list-message-digest-algorithms. Examples are ‘sha1’, ‘sha256’, and ‘sha512’. NOTE: digest_algorithm is not related to Glance’s image signing and verification. It is only used to sign the universally unique identifier (UUID) as a part of the certificate file and key file validation. Possible values: * An OpenSSL message digest algorithm identifier Relation options: * None

scrub_time

Type:integer Default:0 Minimum Value:0

The amount of time, in seconds, to delay image scrubbing. When delayed delete is turned on, an image is put into pending_delete state upon deletion until the scrubber deletes its image data. Typically, soon after the image is put into pending_delete state, it is available for scrubbing. However, scrubbing can be delayed until a later point using this configuration option. This option denotes the time period an image spends in pending_delete state before it is available for scrubbing. It is important to realize that this has storage implications. The larger the scrub_time, the longer the time to reclaim backend storage from deleted images. Possible values: * Any non-negative integer Related options: * delayed_delete

scrub_pool_size

Type:integer Default:1 Minimum Value:1

The size of thread pool to be used for scrubbing images. When there are a large number of images to scrub, it is beneficial to scrub images in parallel so that the scrub queue stays in control and the backend storage is reclaimed in a timely fashion. This configuration option denotes the maximum number of images to be scrubbed in parallel. The default value is one, which signifies serial scrubbing. Any value above one indicates parallel scrubbing. Possible values: * Any non-zero positive integer Related options: * delayed_delete

delayed_delete

Type:boolean Default:false

Turn on/off delayed delete. Typically when an image is deleted, the glance-api service puts the image into deleted state and deletes its data at the same time. Delayed delete is a feature in Glance that delays the actual deletion of image data until a later point in time (as determined by the configuration option scrub_time). When delayed delete is turned on, the glance-api service puts the image into pending_delete state upon deletion and leaves the image data in the storage backend for the image scrubber to delete at a later time. The image scrubber will move the image into deleted state upon successful deletion of image data. NOTE: When delayed delete is turned on, image scrubber MUST be running as a periodic task to prevent the backend storage from filling up with undesired usage. Possible values: * True * False Related options: * scrub_time * wakeup_time * scrub_pool_size

admin_role

Type:string Default:admin

Role used to identify an authenticated user as administrator. Provide a string value representing a Keystone role to identify an administrative user. Users with this role will be granted administrative privileges. The default value for this option is ‘admin’. Possible values: * A string value which is a valid Keystone role Related options: * None

send_identity_headers

Type:boolean Default:false

Send headers received from identity when making requests to registry. Typically, Glance registry can be deployed in multiple flavors, which may or may not include authentication. For example, trusted-auth is a flavor that does not require the registry service to authenticate the requests it receives. However, the registry service may still need a user context to be populated to serve the requests. This can be achieved by the caller (the Glance API usually) passing through the headers it received from authenticating with identity for the same request. The typical headers sent are X-User-Id, X-Tenant-Id, X-Roles, X-Identity-Status and X-Service-Catalog. Provide a boolean value to determine whether to send the identity headers to provide tenant and user information along with the requests to registry service. By default, this option is set to False, which means that user and tenant information is not available readily. It must be obtained by authenticating. Hence, if this is set to False, flavor must be set to value that either includes authentication or authenticated user context. Possible values: * True * False Related options: * flavor

wakeup_time

Type:integer Default:300 Minimum Value:0

Time interval, in seconds, between scrubber runs in daemon mode. Scrubber can be run either as a cron job or daemon. When run as a daemon, this configuration time specifies the time period between two runs. When the scrubber wakes up, it fetches and scrubs all pending_delete images that are available for scrubbing after taking scrub_time into consideration. If the wakeup time is set to a large number, there may be a large number of images to be scrubbed for each run. Also, this impacts how quickly the backend storage is reclaimed. Possible values: * Any non-negative integer Related options: * daemon * delayed_delete

daemon

Type:boolean Default:false

Run scrubber as a daemon. This boolean configuration option indicates whether scrubber should run as a long-running process that wakes up at regular intervals to scrub images. The wake up interval can be specified using the configuration option wakeup_time. If this configuration option is set to False, which is the default value, scrubber runs once to scrub images and exits. In this case, if the operator wishes to implement continuous scrubbing of images, scrubber needs to be scheduled as a cron job. Possible values: * True * False Related options: * wakeup_time

registry_client_protocol

Type:string Default:http Valid Values:http, https

Protocol to use for communication with the registry server. Provide a string value representing the protocol to use for communication with the registry server. By default, this option is set to http and the connection is not secure. This option can be set to https to establish a secure connection to the registry server. In this case, provide a key to use for the SSL connection using the registry_client_key_file option. Also include the CA file and cert file using the options registry_client_ca_file and registry_client_cert_file respectively. Possible values: * http * https Related options: * registry_client_key_file * registry_client_cert_file * registry_client_ca_file

registry_client_key_file

Type:string Default:/etc/ssl/key/key-file.pem

Absolute path to the private key file. Provide a string value representing a valid absolute path to the private key file to use for establishing a secure connection to the registry server. NOTE: This option must be set if registry_client_protocol is set to https. Alternatively, the GLANCE_CLIENT_KEY_FILE environment variable may be set to a filepath of the key file. Possible values: * String value representing a valid absolute path to the key file. Related options: * registry_client_protocol

registry_client_cert_file

Type:string Default:/etc/ssl/certs/file.crt

Absolute path to the certificate file. Provide a string value representing a valid absolute path to the certificate file to use for establishing a secure connection to the registry server. NOTE: This option must be set if registry_client_protocol is set to https. Alternatively, the GLANCE_CLIENT_CERT_FILE environment variable may be set to a filepath of the certificate file. Possible values: * String value representing a valid absolute path to the certificate file. Related options: * registry_client_protocol

registry_client_ca_file

Type:string Default:/etc/ssl/cafile/file.ca

Absolute path to the Certificate Authority file. Provide a string value representing a valid absolute path to the certificate authority file to use for establishing a secure connection to the registry server. NOTE: This option must be set if registry_client_protocol is set to https. Alternatively, the GLANCE_CLIENT_CA_FILE environment variable may be set to a filepath of the CA file. This option is ignored if the registry_client_insecure option is set to True. Possible values: * String value representing a valid absolute path to the CA file. Related options: * registry_client_protocol * registry_client_insecure

registry_client_insecure

Type:boolean Default:false

Set verification of the registry server certificate. Provide a boolean value to determine whether or not to validate SSL connections to the registry server. By default, this option is set to False and the SSL connections are validated. If set to True, the connection to the registry server is not validated via a certifying authority and the registry_client_ca_file option is ignored. This is the registry’s equivalent of specifying –insecure on the command line using glanceclient for the API. Possible values: * True * False Related options: * registry_client_protocol * registry_client_ca_file

registry_client_timeout

Type:integer Default:600 Minimum Value:0

Timeout value for registry requests. Provide an integer value representing the period of time in seconds that the API server will wait for a registry request to complete. The default value is 600 seconds. A value of 0 implies that a request will never timeout. Possible values: * Zero * Positive integer Related options: * None

use_user_token

Type:boolean Default:true

Related Options: * None

swift_store_container

Type:string Default:glance

Name of single container to store images/name prefix for multiple containers When a single container is being used to store images, this configuration option indicates the container within the Glance account to be used for storing all images. When multiple containers are used to store images, this will be the name prefix for all containers. Usage of single/multiple containers can be controlled using the configuration option swift_store_multiple_containers_seed. When using multiple containers, the containers will be named after the value set for this configuration option with the first N chars of the image UUID as the suffix delimited by an underscore (where N is specified by swift_store_multiple_containers_seed). Example: if the seed is set to 3 and swift_store_container = glance, then an image with UUID fdae39a1-bac5-4238-aba4-69bcc726e848 would be placed in the container glance_fda. All dashes in the UUID are included when creating the container name but do not count toward the character limit, so when N=10 the container name would be glance_fdae39a1-ba. Possible values: * If using single container, this configuration option can be any string that is a valid swift container name in Glance’s Swift account * If using multiple containers, this configuration option can be any string as long as it satisfies the container naming rules enforced by Swift. The value of swift_store_multiple_containers_seed should be taken into account as well. Related options: * swift_store_multiple_containers_seed * swift_store_multi_tenant * swift_store_create_container_on_put

swift_store_large_object_size

Type:integer Default:5120 Minimum Value:1

The size threshold, in MB, after which Glance will start segmenting image data. Swift has an upper limit on the size of a single uploaded object. By default, this is 5GB. To upload objects bigger than this limit, objects are segmented into multiple smaller objects that are tied together with a manifest file. For more detail, refer to http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/overview_large_objects.html This configuration option specifies the size threshold over which the Swift driver will start segmenting image data into multiple smaller files. Currently, the Swift driver only supports creating Dynamic Large Objects. NOTE: This should be set by taking into account the large object limit enforced by the Swift cluster in consideration. Possible values: * A positive integer that is less than or equal to the large object limit enforced by the Swift cluster in consideration. Related options: * swift_store_large_object_chunk_size

swift_store_large_object_chunk_size

The maximum size, in MB, of the segments when image data is segmented. When image data is segmented to upload images that are larger than the limit enforced by the Swift cluster, image data is broken into segments that are no bigger than the size specified by this configuration option. Refer to swift_store_large_object_size for more detail. For example: if swift_store_large_object_size is 5GB and swift_store_large_object_chunk_size is 1GB, an image of size 6.2GB will be segmented into 7 segments where the first six segments will be 1GB in size and the seventh segment will be 0.2GB. Possible values: * A positive integer that is less than or equal to the large object limit enforced by Swift cluster in consideration. Related options: * swift_store_large_object_size

swift_store_create_container_on_put

Type:boolean Default:false

Create container, if it doesn’t already exist, when uploading image. At the time of uploading an image, if the corresponding container doesn’t exist, it will be created provided this configuration option is set to True. By default, it won’t be created. This behavior is applicable for both single and multiple containers mode. Possible values: * True * False Related options: * None

swift_store_multi_tenant

Type:boolean Default:false

Store images in tenant’s Swift account. This enables multi-tenant storage mode which causes Glance images to be stored in tenant specific Swift accounts. If this is disabled, Glance stores all images in its own account. More details multi-tenant store can be found at https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GlanceSwiftTenantSpecificStorage NOTE: If using multi-tenant swift store, please make sure that you do not set a swift configuration file with the ‘swift_store_config_file’ option. Possible values: * True * False Related options: * swift_store_config_file

swift_store_multiple_containers_seed

Type:integer Default:0 Minimum Value:0 Maximum Value:32

Seed indicating the number of containers to use for storing images. When using a single-tenant store, images can be stored in one or more than one containers. When set to 0, all images will be stored in one single container. When set to an integer value between 1 and 32, multiple containers will be used to store images. This configuration option will determine how many containers are created. The total number of containers that will be used is equal to 16^N, so if this config option is set to 2, then 16^2=256 containers will be used to store images. Please refer to swift_store_container for more detail on the naming convention. More detail about using multiple containers can be found at https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/glance-specs/specs/kilo/swift-store-multiple-containers.html NOTE: This is used only when swift_store_multi_tenant is disabled.

List of tenants that will be granted admin access. This is a list of tenants that will be granted read/write access on all Swift containers created by Glance in multi-tenant mode. The default value is an empty list. Possible values: * A comma separated list of strings representing UUIDs of Keystone projects/tenants Related options: * None

swift_store_ssl_compression

Type:boolean Default:true

SSL layer compression for HTTPS Swift requests. Provide a boolean value to determine whether or not to compress HTTPS Swift requests for images at the SSL layer. By default, compression is enabled. When using Swift as the backend store for Glance image storage, SSL layer compression of HTTPS Swift requests can be set using this option. If set to False, SSL layer compression of HTTPS Swift requests is disabled. Disabling this option may improve performance for images which are already in a compressed format, for example, qcow2. Possible values: * True * False Related Options: * None

swift_store_retry_get_count

Type:integer Default:0 Minimum Value:0

The number of times a Swift download will be retried before the request fails. Provide an integer value representing the number of times an image download must be retried before erroring out. The default value is zero (no retry on a failed image download). When set to a positive integer value, swift_store_retry_get_count ensures that the download is attempted this many more times upon a download failure before sending an error message. Possible values: * Zero * Positive integer value Related Options: * None

swift_store_expire_soon_interval

Type:integer Default:60 Minimum Value:0

Time in seconds defining the size of the window in which a new token may be requested before the current token is due to expire. Typically, the Swift storage driver fetches a new token upon the expiration of the current token to ensure continued access to Swift. However, some Swift transactions (like uploading image segments) may not recover well if the token expires on the fly. Hence, by fetching a new token before the current token expiration, we make sure that the token does not expire or is close to expiry before a transaction is attempted. By default, the Swift storage driver requests for a new token 60 seconds or less before the current token expiration. Possible values: * Zero * Positive integer value Related Options: * None

swift_store_use_trusts

Type:boolean Default:true

Use trusts for multi-tenant Swift store. This option instructs the Swift store to create a trust for each add/get request when the multi-tenant store is in use. Using trusts allows the Swift store to avoid problems that can be caused by an authentication token expiring during the upload or download of data. By default, swift_store_use_trusts is set to True``(use of   trusts is enabled). If set to ``False, a user token is used for the Swift connection instead, eliminating the overhead of trust creation. NOTE: This option is considered only when swift_store_multi_tenant is set to True Possible values: * True * False Related options: * swift_store_multi_tenant

default_swift_reference

Type:string Default:ref1

Reference to default Swift account/backing store parameters. Provide a string value representing a reference to the default set of parameters required for using swift account/backing store for image storage.

swift_store_auth_address

Type:string Default:<None>

The address where the Swift authentication service is listening.

Warning

This option is deprecated for removal. Its value may be silently ignored in the future.

Reason: The option ‘auth_address’ in the Swift back-end configuration file is used instead.

swift_store_user

Type:string Default:<None>

The user to authenticate against the Swift authentication service.

Warning

This option is deprecated for removal. Its value may be silently ignored in the future.

Reason: The option ‘user’ in the Swift back-end configuration file is set instead.

swift_store_key

Type:string Default:<None>

Auth key for the user authenticating against the Swift authentication service.

Warning

This option is deprecated for removal. Its value may be silently ignored in the future.

Reason: The option ‘key’ in the Swift back-end configuration file is used to set the authentication key instead.

swift_store_config_file

Type:string Default:<None>

Absolute path to the file containing the swift account(s) configurations. Include a string value representing the path to a configuration file that has references for each of the configured Swift account(s)/backing stores. By default, no file path is specified and customized Swift referencing is disabled. Configuring this option is highly recommended while using Swift storage backend for image storage as it avoids storage of credentials in the database. NOTE: Please do not configure this option if you have set swift_store_multi_tenant to True. Possible values: * String value representing an absolute path on the glance-api node Related options: * swift_store_multi_tenant

vmware_api_retry_count

Type:integer Default:10 Minimum Value:1

The number of VMware API retries. This configuration option specifies the number of times the VMware ESX/VC server API must be retried upon connection related issues or server API call overload. It is not possible to specify ‘retry forever’. Possible Values: * Any positive integer value Related options: * None

vmware_task_poll_interval

Type:integer Default:5 Minimum Value:1

Interval in seconds used for polling remote tasks invoked on VMware ESX/VC server. This configuration option takes in the sleep time in seconds for polling an on-going async task as part of the VMWare ESX/VC server API call. Possible Values: * Any positive integer value Related options: * None

vmware_store_image_dir

Type:string Default:/openstack_glance

The directory where the glance images will be stored in the datastore. This configuration option specifies the path to the directory where the glance images will be stored in the VMware datastore. If this option is not set, the default directory where the glance images are stored is openstack_glance. Possible Values: * Any string that is a valid path to a directory Related options: * None

vmware_insecure

Type:boolean Default:false

Set verification of the ESX/vCenter server certificate. This configuration option takes a boolean value to determine whether or not to verify the ESX/vCenter server certificate. If this option is set to True, the ESX/vCenter server certificate is not verified. If this option is set to False, then the default CA truststore is used for verification. This option is ignored if the “vmware_ca_file” option is set. In that case, the ESX/vCenter server certificate will then be verified using the file specified using the “vmware_ca_file” option . Possible Values: * True * False Related options: * vmware_ca_file

vmware_ca_file

Type:string Default:/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Absolute path to the CA bundle file. This configuration option enables the operator to use a custom Cerificate Authority File to verify the ESX/vCenter certificate. If this option is set, the “vmware_insecure” option will be ignored and the CA file specified will be used to authenticate the ESX/vCenter server certificate and establish a secure connection to the server. Possible Values: * Any string that is a valid absolute path to a CA file Related options: * vmware_insecure

vmware_datastores

Type:multi-valued Default:

The datastores where the image can be stored. This configuration option specifies the datastores where the image can be stored in the VMWare store backend. This option may be specified multiple times for specifying multiple datastores. The datastore name should be specified after its datacenter path, separated by ”:”. An optional weight may be given after the datastore name, separated again by ”:” to specify the priority. Thus, the required format becomes <datacenter_path>:<datastore_name>:<optional_weight>. When adding an image, the datastore with highest weight will be selected, unless there is not enough free space available in cases where the image size is already known. If no weight is given, it is assumed to be zero and the directory will be considered for selection last. If multiple datastores have the same weight, then the one with the most free space available is selected. Possible Values: * Any string of the format: <datacenter_path>:<datastore_name>:<optional_weight> Related options: * None
