- Deleted - Image is hidden and unusable for new servers, but can be still used by some already defined servers.
Owner - Image owner.
DC-bound? - Whether a disk image is bound to a specific virtual data center.
Size - Minimal virtual disk size required by a disk image (read-only).

Description

The import of images is carried out automatically before deploying the virtual server onto the compute node.

Note

It is possible to manually import a disk image by using a proper API function.

Unused disk images can be removed from a node storage in two ways:

Removing a specific disk image form a node storage
Removing all unused disk images from a node storage by using the Delete unused images action.
