Appendix A. Image Configuration Parameters
Appendix A. Image Configuration Parameters The following keys can be used with the property option for both the glance image-update and glance image-create commands. Note Behavior set using image properties overrides behavior set using flavors. For more information, see Section 4.3, "Manage Flavors" . Table A.1. Property Keys Specific to Key Description Supported values All architecture The CPU architecture that must be supported by the hypervisor. For example, x86_64 , arm , or ppc64 . Run uname -m to get the architecture of a machine. We strongly recommend using the architecture data vocabulary defined by the libosinfo project for this purpose. alpha-DEC 64-bit RISC armv7l-ARM Cortex-A7 MPCore cris-Ethernet, Token Ring, AXis-Code Reduced Instruction Set i686-Intel sixth-generation x86 (P6 micro architecture) ia64-Itanium lm32-Lattice Micro32 m68k-Motorola 68000 microblaze-Xilinx 32-bit FPGA (Big Endian) microblazeel-Xilinx 32-bit FPGA (Little Endian) mips-MIPS 32-bit RISC (Big Endian) mipsel-MIPS 32-bit RISC (Little Endian) mips64-MIPS 64-bit RISC (Big Endian) mips64el-MIPS 64-bit RISC (Little Endian) openrisc-OpenCores RISC parisc-HP Precision Architecture RISC parisc64-HP Precision Architecture 64-bit RISC ppc-PowerPC 32-bit ppc64-PowerPC 64-bit ppcemb-PowerPC (Embedded 32-bit) s390-IBM Enterprise Systems Architecture/390 s390x-S/390 64-bit sh4-SuperH SH-4 (Little Endian) sh4eb-SuperH SH-4 (Big Endian) sparc-Scalable Processor Architecture, 32-bit sparc64-Scalable Processor Architecture, 64-bit unicore32-Microprocessor Research and Development Center RISC Unicore32 x86_64-64-bit extension of IA-32 xtensa-Tensilica Xtensa configurable microprocessor core xtensaeb-Tensilica Xtensa configurable microprocessor core (Big Endian) All hypervisor_type The hypervisor type. kvm , vmware All instance_uuid For snapshot images, this is the UUID of the server used to create this image.

Do not use com.microsoft.server All os_version The operating system version as specified by the distributor. Version number (for example, "11.10") All ramdisk_id The ID of image stored in the Image Service that should be used as the ramdisk when booting an AMI-style image. Valid image ID All vm_mode The virtual machine mode. This represents the host/guest ABI (application binary interface) used for the virtual machine. hvm -Fully virtualized. This is the mode used by QEMU and KVM. libvirt API driver hw_disk_bus Specifies the type of disk controller to attach disk devices to. scsi , virtio , ide , or usb . Note that if using iscsi , the hw_scsi_model needs to be set to virtio-scsi . libvirt API driver hw_numa_nodes Number of NUMA nodes to expose to the instance (does not override flavor definition). Integer. For a detailed example of NUMA-topology definition, see the hw:NUMA_def key in Add Metadata . libvirt API driver hw_numa_cpus.0 Mapping of vCPUs N-M to NUMA node 0 (does not override flavor definition). Comma-separated list of integers. libvirt API driver hw_numa_cpus.1 Mapping of vCPUs N-M to NUMA node 1 (does not override flavor definition). Comma-separated list of integers. libvirt API driver hw_numa_mem.0 Mapping N MB of RAM to NUMA node 0 (does not override flavor definition). Integer libvirt API driver hw_numa_mem.1 Mapping N MB of RAM to NUMA node 1 (does not override flavor definition). Integer libvirt API driver hw_qemu_guest_agent Guest agent support. If set to yes , and if qemu-ga is also installed, file systems can be quiesced (frozen) and snapshots created automatically. yes / no libvirt API driver hw_rng_model Adds a random-number generator device to the image's instances. The cloud administrator can enable and control device behavior by configuring the instance's flavor. By default: The generator device is disabled. /dev/random is used as the default entropy source. To specify a physical HW RNG device, set rng_dev_path to "/dev/hwrng" in your Compute environment file. virtio , or other supported device. libvirt API driver hw_scsi_model Enables the use of VirtIO SCSI (virtio-scsi) to provide block device access for compute instances; by default, instances use VirtIO Block (virtio-blk). VirtIO SCSI is a para-virtualized SCSI controller device that provides improved scalability and performance, and supports advanced SCSI hardware. virtio-scsi libvirt API driver hw_video_model The video image driver used. vga , cirrus , vmvga , xen , or qxl libvirt API driver hw_video_ram Maximum RAM for the video image. Used only if a hw_video:ram_max_mb value has been set in the flavor's extra_specs and that value is higher than the value set in hw_video_ram . Integer in MB (for example, 64 ) libvirt API driver hw_watchdog_action Enables a virtual hardware watchdog device that carries out the specified action if the server hangs. The watchdog uses the i6300esb device (emulating a PCI Intel 6300ESB). If hw_watchdog_action is not specified, the watchdog is disabled. disabled-The device is not attached. Allows the user to disable the watchdog for the image, even if it has been enabled using the image's flavor. The default value for this parameter is disabled. reset-Forcefully reset the guest. poweroff-Forcefully power off the guest. pause-Pause the guest. none-Only enable the watchdog; do nothing if the server hangs. libvirt API driver os_command_line The kernel command line to be used by the libvirt driver, instead of the default. For Linux Containers (LXC), the value is used as arguments for initialization. This key is valid only for Amazon kernel, ramdisk, or machine images (aki, ari, or ami). libvirt API driver and VMware API driver hw_vif_model Specifies the model of virtual network interface device to use. The valid options depend on the configured hypervisor. KVM and QEMU: e1000, ne2k_pci, pcnet, rtl8139, and virtio. VMware: e1000, e1000e, VirtualE1000, VirtualE1000e, VirtualPCNet32, VirtualSriovEthernetCard, and VirtualVmxnet. Xen: e1000, netfront, ne2k_pci, pcnet, and rtl8139. VMware API driver vmware_adaptertype The virtual SCSI or IDE controller used by the hypervisor. lsiLogic , busLogic , or ide VMware API driver vmware_ostype A VMware GuestID which describes the operating system installed in the image. This value is passed to the hypervisor when creating a virtual machine. If not specified, the key defaults to otherGuest . For more information, see Images with VMware vSphere . VMware API driver vmware_image_version Currently unused. 1 XenAPI driver auto_disk_config If true, the root partition on the disk is automatically resized before the instance boots. This value is only taken into account by the Compute service when using a Xen-based hypervisor with the XenAPI driver. The Compute service will only attempt to resize if there is a single partition on the image, and only if the partition is in ext3 or ext4 format. true / false libvirt API driver and XenAPI driver os_type The operating system installed on the image. The XenAPI driver contains logic that takes different actions depending on the value of the os_type parameter of the image. For example, for os_type=windows images, it creates a FAT32-based swap partition instead of a Linux swap partition, and it limits the injected host name to less than 16 characters. linux or windows
