This improves the support for qemu rbd devices by adding support for a few key features (e.g., authentication) and cleaning up the way in which rbd configuration options are passed to qemu. An <auth> member of the disk source xml specifies how librbd should authenticate. The username attribute is the Ceph/RBD user to authenticate as. The usage or uuid attributes specify which secret to use. Usage is an arbitrary identifier local to libvirt. The old RBD support relied on setting an environment variable to communicate information to qemu/librbd. Instead, pass those options explicitly to qemu. Update the qemu argument parsing and tests accordingly. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net> Signed-off-by: Josh Durgin <josh.durgin@dreamhost.com>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
