Question

Hi Guys,

I am getting an error, while starting glance-api service.

$ service openstack-glance-api start [FAILED]

The error log /var/log/glance/openstack-glance-api-startup.log revealed the below message.

Failed to configure store correctly: Store filesystem could not be configured correctly. Reason: Specify at least‘filesystem_store_datadir’ or ‘filesystem_store_datadirs’ option Disabling add method. 

Thank You

Hi@akhtar,

This error occurs because you may not add filesystem_store_datadir property in glance conf file. Follow the bellow given steps.

• Open glance-api.conf file. It should be located at /etc/glance/glance-api.conf 

• Look out for ‘filesystem_store_datadir‘ and set ‘/var/lib/glance/images/‘ as value. If already set and commented, just uncomment it

Hope this will help you.

Thank You
