Some backend store names were inconsistent between glance
and glance_store. This meant that operators of the
VMware datastore or file system store were required to use
store names in ``glance-api.conf`` that did not correspond
to any valid identifier in glance_store. As this situation
encouraged misconfiguration and operator unhappiness, we
have made the store names consistent in the Newton
release. What this means for you:
* This change applies only to operators who are using
multiple image locations
* This change applies only to operators using the VMware
datastore or filesystem stores
* This change applies only to the ``store_type_preference``
option
* *VMware datastore operators*: The old name, now
**DEPRECATED**, was ``vmware_datastore``. The **new**
name, used in both glance and glance_store, is
``vmware``
* *File system store operators*: the old name, now
**DEPRECATED**, was ``filesystem``. The **new** name,
used in both glance and glance_store, is ``file``
* This change is backward compatible, that is, the old
names will be recognized by the code during the deprecation
period. Support for the deprecated names will be removed in
the **Pike** release
* We strongly encourage operators to modify their
``glance-api.conf`` files immediately to use the **new**
names
