# Image File Copied to Glance Host, Image Not Discovered

## Problem

An image copied to a Glance host from a different host does not get detected. The image was copied to the location */var/opt/pf9/imagelibrary/data/glance* on the Glance host but was not being reflected on the UI.

## Environment

* Platform9 Managed OpenStack - All Versions
* Clarity UI

## Cause

The default location for holding the glance image is */var/opt/pf9/imagelibrary/data*. If the image is copied from an external source the image should be copied to */var/opt/pf9/imagelibrary/data* on the Glance host. If the glance API call is used to download the image, the image will be downloaded into the folder */var/opt/pf9/imagelibrary/data/glance*.

## Resolution

Move the image to the folder */var/opt/pf9/imagelibrary/data* on the Glance host and it will be reflected in the Clarity UI.

1. If copying from a remote source, first copy the image to the Glance host's /var/tmp directory.
2. Move the image to the /var/opt/pf9/imagelibrary/data directory.
3. After the file is copied entirely, change its ownership to pf9:pf9group.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://platform9.com/kb/pmo/solution/image-file-copied-to-glance-host-image-not-discovered.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
