Image Management Guide / Image Tasks |
When a new image is uploaded to Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus saves the bundle and the image manifest to a bucket in Walrus. This bucket is stored in the Walrus directory that is defined in the Eucalyptus property walrusbackend.storageDir. The default value for this property is /var/lib/eucalyptus/bukkits.
When you register an image, Eucalyptus creates the actual image file. Both the image manifest and the bundle must remain intact to run as an instance.
To delete an image fully, you must deregister the image and delete the bundle. To successfully remove an image and associated bundle files:
