# Unable to Create Image from a Cinder Volume or a Volume Snapshot

## Problem

Image creation using a Cinder volume or a snapshot fails with the following error observed in the Cinder log located at ***/var/log/pf9/cindervolumebase.log*** on the Cinder host where the original volume or snapshot resides.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="None" %}

```none
ERROR cinder.volume.manager [...] Upload volume to image encountered an error (image-id: 844d5563-13e2-4092-a1e6-287ef6b37db4).: HTTPOverLimit: HTTP 413 Request Entity Too Large: Image storage media is full: There is not enough disk space on the image storage media.
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Environment

* Platform9 Managed OpenStack - All versions

## Cause

The creation of the image fails because the image storage mount does not have enough space.

## Resolution

1. Login to the Glance host.
2. Check the image storage mount on the host.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="None" %}

```none
[pf9@test-host1 ~]$ df -hFilesystem                           Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted ondevtmpfs                             126G     0  126G   0% /devtmpfs                                126G  516K  126G   1% /dev/shmtmpfs                                126G  4.1G  122G   4% /runtmpfs                                126G     0  126G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup/dev/mapper/vghroot-lvroot           8.0G  2.5G  5.6G  31% //dev/mapper/vghroot-lvusr            8.0G  1.8G  6.3G  22% /usr/dev/mapper/vghroot-lvopt             50G  2.8G   48G   6% /opt/dev/mapper/vghroot-lvtmp            4.0G   33M  4.0G   1% /tmp/dev/mapper/vghroot-lvvmdat          2.0T   33M  2.0T   1% /opt/vmdata/dev/mapper/vghroot-lvvar             64G   19G   46G  29% /var/dev/mapper/vghroot-lvhome           4.0G   34M  4.0G   1% /hometest-host1-vlan120-3:/OpenStack_Img  5.0T  5.0T   36G 100% /opt/images
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

3. Provision additional storage to the Glance host.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://platform9.com/kb/pmo/solution/unable-to-create-image-from-a-cinder-volume-or-a-volume-snapshot.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
