Edit /etc/glance/glance-api.conf and modify the [DEFAULT] section: notification_driver = messaging rpc_backend = rabbit rabbit_host = controller rabbit_password = RABBIT_PASS Restart the Image Services with their new settings: # service glance-registry restart # service glance-api restart # systemctl restart openstack-glance-api.service openstack-glance-registry.service On SLES: # service openstack-glance-api restart # service openstack-glance-registry restart On openSUSE: # systemctl restart openstack-glance-api.service openstack-glance-registry.service
