# Instance Creation Failure

Instance creation can fail in a Linux / KVM environment if the Image Library host is configured using DHCP, and the IP address changes when the lease is renewed.

## Updating IP address of Glance Image Library endpoint in KVM environment

If you are using KVM as your hypervisor, wait for 30-60 seconds after a restart of the Image Library host.

Once the connection with the control plane has been reestablished, follow the steps given below.

1\. Navigate to Infrastructure>Hosts.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.platform9.com/managed-openstack/5.4/troubleshooting/linux-kvm/troubleshooting-kvm-issues-vm-create.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
