Using a Glance Image Creation Script

The glance image-create command can upload the image and set all property values at once. The following script shows how to make sure you upload the image with the architecture property set to the architecture of the current host:

#!/bin/ksh

# Upload Unified Archive image to glance with proper Solaris decorations

arch=$(archiveadm info -p $1|grep ^archive|cut -d '|' -f 4)

if [[ "$arch" == "i386" ]]; then
        imgarch=x86_64
else
        imgarch=sparc64
fi

name=$(basename $1 .uar)

export OS_USERNAME=glance
export OS_PASSWORD=glance
export OS_TENANT_NAME=service
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://controller-name:5000/v2.0

glance image-create --name $name --container-format bare --disk-format raw --owner service
--file $1 --is-public True --property architecture=$imgarch --property hypervisor_type=solariszones
--property vm_mode=solariszones --progress
