I’m having trouble getting ClearLinux to work on OpenStack.
From their download source, based on their sites download page & documentation, I’ve tried clear-29690-cloud.img, clear-29690-cloud-native.img, clear-29690-live-server.img, and clear-29690-live-server.iso after running it through conversion. I can’t tell if this is something specific with clearlinux or not.
Their documentation states the one for OpenStack is the cloud-img file.
We reference this documentation on how to convert an image to a raw format by the documentation of the internal cluster, but even after converting I’m still running into either “Booting from Hard Drive” or “Boot failed: not a bootable disk - No bootable device”.
After trying these images, I run openstack image create --private --disk-format raw --container-format bare and have passed the images themselves and the qcow2 images over. I would think the images would be in their proper formats and that I may be doing the step of converting them to qcow2 types needlessly, but in all scenarios nothing works and I’m having the worst of luck here. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit:
Rancher releases as qcow2. just noticed I was also converting from what was given to qcow2 for half of my attempts. Maybe that is the key. Is it a standard to release in qcow2 for openstack images? Testing this now.
Also lets be adults and not downvote without comment here.
Edit 2: TIL (Tonight(at 3am) I learned)
qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O raw clear-29690-cloud.img clear-29690-cloud.raw
I was not only doing the conversion backward but qcow2 is the format given by Clear Linux’s OpenStack image and maybe the common one for OpenStack in general. Fun venture. Thanks Rancher!
Edit 3: Spoke too soon. RancherOS works. Clear Linux still stalls at “Booting form harddisk”
