Results:

• The instance got created with the particular name of the OpenStack tenant and also was listed in the openstack server list command

Problem:

• The status of the instance is showing ERROR

I am able to create the instance via openstack server create command and horizon dashboard.

openstack server create --image Ubuntu-14.04-Trusty --flavor m1.small --nic net-id=214a5016-c2e1-47e2-aec3-fcdcdec9e939 viki_test_instance1

nova-api.log shows,

The first log shows to upgrade the glance version but I doubt that is a solution as my other services such the openstack cli and horizon dashboard are able to create the instance.

Need help in debugging this issue.

@dvigneshwer: Thanks for the hint. It did work for me. In my case I am not sure how but the image created with cirros was wrong. I downloaded a new image and then added this image to glance, then created my server and it did work.
