Glance Image Create Fails With Error "Request Entity Too Large

Problem

The Glance image creation fails when user tries to create an image from the Management Plane. The error observed is as follows.

None

# openstack image create UBUNTU1804_ISO --file /home/chinmay/ubuntu-18.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso --disk-format iso --container-format bare413 Request Entity Too Large: nginx/1.14.1 (HTTP 413)

Environment

• Platform9 Managed OpenStack - All Versions
• Glance

Cause

The admin endpoint is not configured to create images. Because the creation attempt was done on the Management Plane, the admin RC file is sourced, you cannot create images.

Resolution

1. Download the RC file from the UI for your user.
2. Source the RC file and create the image.
