Hello guys
I am trying to write a python script, which creates a new server on a
compute node. As information sources I used the "Programming OpenStack
Compute API - 1.1" guide [1] and the "OpenStack Compute Developer Guide -
API v2" [2] book.
I managed to create API calls for retrieving the api token, flavors and
images. All this went very smoothly thanks to the good documentation.
Strange enough, in my server create script seems to be some kind of
syntax/format error, according to the error message I receive, when I
execute the script. The system or rather the api tells me that the
personality information for the server is malformed:
{"badRequest": {"message": "Bad personality format", "code": 400}}
However I can't figure out what is wrong, because my JSON string is in the
correct syntax, as you can see on this website [4]. I checked the
nova-api-log but I wans't able to extract more information from there. I
posted the output of my nova-api-log at the end of my e-mail.
I uploaded my script into my git repository [3], if someone wants to scann
the whole file. Has someone an idea what I might have overseen?
Thanks for your inputs.
Cheers,
Nicolas
