Resolution:

1. Click on the ' Images' tab in the UI.
2. Click on the ' Add New Image' button.
3. Manually SCP the Image in the path defined under column " Path to Image Library Watch Folder" on hosts that do not have this image.

Additional Information

When a new image is created, it will only be uploaded to one of the authorized image library hosts, and the image file will be stored in the chosen image repository location on that host. Requests to download the file from another image library host will fail unless the image file is made available on that host. To maximize image availability and fault tolerance, each image library host must have access to all the image files cataloged by the Glance service. Refer to the article Image Catalog High Availability for more details.
