Image States Reference
This page is a complete reference of all the Image states that will be useful for developers and administrators doing troubleshooting.
The simplified life-cycle is explained in the Virtual Machines Images guide. This simplified diagram uses a smaller number of state names. That section should be enough for end users and everyday administration tasks.
List of States
OpenNebula’s images define their state using the STATE variable. The state can be seen from the CLI (oneimage show) and from Sunstone (Info panel for the Image).
| # | State | Short State Alias | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | INIT | init | Initialization state |
| 1 | READY | rdy | Image ready to use |
| 2 | USED | used | The image is being used by other VM |
| 3 | DISABLED | disa | Image can not be instantiated by a VM |
| 4 | LOCKED | lock | FS operation for the Image in process |
| 5 | ERROR | err | Error state the operation FAILED |
| 6 | CLONE | clon | Image is being cloned |
| 7 | DELETE | dele | DS is deleting the image |
| 8 | USED_PERS | used | Image is in use and persistent |
| 9 | LOCKED_USED | lock | FS operation in progress, VMs waiting |
