Troubleshooting for Creating the Instance using OpenStack
The following issues may occur when creating the instance using the OpenStack Dashboard (see Creating the
Instance Using the OpenStack Dashboard, on page 124).
• If you do not see any output on the OpenStack dashboard’s console it may be due to you having previously
selected the incorrect type of image. Select the virtual qcow2 image (not the serial qcow2 image) before
following the steps in Creating the Instance Using the OpenStack Dashboard, on page 124.
