xl/libxl already supports qemu's network-based block backends such as nbd and rbd. libvirt has supported configuring such <disk>s for long time too. This patch adds support for rbd disks in the libxl driver by generating a rbd device URL from the virDomainDiskDef object. The URL is passed to libxl via the pdev_path field of libxl_device_disk struct. libxl then passes the URL to qemu for cosumption by the rbd backend. Signed-off-by: Jim Fehlig <jfehlig@suse.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.
