Deleting a Glance Image from UI does not Actually Delete the Image on the Glance Host

Problem

  • Deleting a glance image from UI does not delete the image actually from /_var/opt/pf9/imagelibrary/data/glance_ on glance host.

Environment

  • Platform9 Managed OpenStack - v5.4.0 and Higher

Cause

  • The maintenance task for image cleanup is suspended if there is a image create task in progress.
  • This is by design and completely expected behaviour.

Resolution

  • Confirm if there is a lock file created for an ongoing image create task:
Bash
Copy
  • Try removing this lock if there is no image creation task in operation.
  • It is recommended to upload the images by copying them to _/var/opt/pf9/imagelibrary/data_ directory which is also suggested in the UI.

Additional Information

  • Reach out to support team if the issue persists even after following the solution.
