Creating a new image is a step done outside of your
|
|
OpenStack installation. You create the new image manually on
|
|
your own system and then upload the image to your cloud.
|
|
|
|
To create a new image, you will need the installation CD or
|
|
DVD ISO file for the guest operating system. You will also need
|
|
access to a virtualization tool. You can use KVM for this. Or,
|
|
if you have a GUI desktop virtualization tool (such as, VMware
|
|
Fusion or VirtualBox), you can use that instead.
|
|
Convert the file to raw once you are done.
|
|
|
|
When you create a new virtual machine image, you will need
|
|
to connect to the graphical console of the hypervisor, which
|
|
acts as the virtual machine's display and allows you to interact
|
|
with the guest operating system's installer using your keyboard
|
|
and mouse. KVM can expose the graphical console using the
|
|
`VNC <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Network_Computing>`_
|
|
(Virtual Network Computing) protocol or the newer
|
|
`SPICE <http://spice-space.org>`_ protocol.
|
|
We will use the VNC protocol here, since you are more likely
|
|
to find a VNC client that works on your local desktop.
