[Bug 1420809] Re: Glance image-create help in CLI is not correct

 

Horizon is not a reliable source to verify what parameters are
mandatory, since it is another client (as python-glanceclient, i.e.
glance CLI) for the glance API.

The command glance client doesn't actually require any parameter (not
even an image name!) to process correctly, anyway in this case the image
is only "queued".

To have an image in the state "active" (i.e. actually created) it is
necessary to specify the source (--file for local source or --location
for URL), the disk format and the container format.

It may be arguable why Horizon doesn't allow to only queue an image or
why it forces to have a name for the created images, differently from
python-glanceclient, anyway in my opinion these are more implementation
choices than bugs.

** Changed in: glance
       Status: New => Invalid
