I need to upload an RHEL image into a Virtual Server of my Bluemix environment. I downloaded a qcow2 image directly from Red Hat (rhel-server-7.0-x86_64-boot.iso) but whilst this image uploads to a BMX Virtual Server when I try to access the Virtual Server's IP addresses I get no connectivity to it.

I assume this image is not compatible with BMX as a Virtual Server :-(

Does anyone have a RHEL6 or RHEL7 image that does upload as a BMX Virtual Server that I could use to upload myself?

Many Thanks, Nick

  • I re-read your question, you already have a qcow2 type image. What is the machine status? Does it have a public or private IP address? – data_henrik Jun 20 '16 at 13:25
  • Both. I have setup keys to access it (as with other BMX virtual servers) but all I get is this: $ ssh -i cloudkey4 ibmcloud@169.50.98.123 ssh: connect to host 169.50.98.123 port 22: Connection refused – nickc909 Jun 20 '16 at 13:30
  • In this case (machine status ok and public IP, but no access) open a support ticket - nothing for Stack Overflow. – data_henrik Jun 20 '16 at 13:36
  • I thought this forum was how one got Bluemix support? To any others reading - if you have a RHEL6 or RHEL7 image that does upload as a BMX Virtual Server please share with me! – nickc909 Jun 20 '16 at 13:47

  • @Nickc909 - Stack Overflow is not a replacement for Bluemix Support. You can ask technical questions here and the community can help. – William 'Bill' Wentworth Jun 20 '16 at 20:23

@nickc909: Check the link http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/obtain-images.html#red-hat-enterprise-linux for Redhat guest images. However you need to have a Redhat Subscription account to install any packages on the VM which is why the default OSs provided are Debian and Centos.
