Hi,
I am a libvirt qe, I am testing the function about the new location of disk auth element (as sub-element of the source element) in Backing Chain Management. And I have a questions:
When all the backing chain are iscsi network disk type(no matter if the authentication is exist), start the guest , it will only has the top level disk in xml and there are no other backingStore in it. The test step is below.
So can this function support all backing chain with network disk type actually, or only use network authentication as the base image for backing chain of file disk type?
Can you help reviewing it? Thanks very much in advance!
Test step:
1. iSCSI server:
o- iscsi ............................................................................................................ [Targets: 2]
| o- iqn.2003-01.org.linux-iscsi.localhost.x8664:sn.9cba196611e6 ....................................................... [TPGs: 1]
| | o- tpg1 ..................................................................................... [gen-acls, tpg-auth, 1-way auth]
| | o- acls .......................................................................................................... [ACLs: 0]
| | o- luns .......................................................................................................... [LUNs: 4]
| | | o- lun0 ................................................................ [fileio/file1 (/tmp/lun1.img) (default_tg_pt_gp)]
| | o- portals .................................................................................................... [Portals: 1]
| | o- 0.0.0.0:3260 ..................................................................................................... [OK]
| o- iqn.2003-01.org.linux-iscsi.localhost.x8664:sn.a8d92ebb4ece ....................................................... [TPGs: 1]
| o- tpg1 .................................................................................................. [gen-acls, no-auth]
| o- acls .......................................................................................................... [ACLs: 0]
| o- luns .......................................................................................................... [LUNs: 3]
| | o- lun0 ................................................................ [fileio/file3 (/tmp/lun3.img) (default_tg_pt_gp)]
| o- portals .................................................................................................... [Portals: 1]
| o- 0.0.0.0:3260 ..................................................................................................... [OK]
2. Set iscsi secret.
# cat iscsi-secret.xml
<secret ephemeral='no' private='yes'>
<description>iSCSI secret</description>
<usage type='iscsi'>
<target>libvirtiscsi</target>
</usage>
</secret>
<secret ephemeral='no' private='yes'>
<description>iSCSI secret</description>
<usage type='iscsi'>
<target>libvirtiscsi</target>
</usage>
</secret>
# virsh secret-define iscsi-secret.xml
Secret 47bd2f3e-023f-44ba-85a3-e8fa7f16ff23 created
# MYSECRET=`printf %s "redhat" | base64`
# virsh secret-set-value 47bd2f3e-023f-44ba-85a3-e8fa7f16ff23 $MYSECRET
Secret value set
3. Create backing chain.
# qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b iscsi://redhat:redhat@10.66.7.27:3260/iqn.2003-01.org.linux-iscsi.localhost.x8664:sn.9cba196611e6/0 iscsi://10.66.7.27:3260/iqn.2003-01.org.linux-iscsi.localhost.x8664:sn.a8d92ebb4ece/0 -o backing_fmt=qcow2
4. Start guest.
# qemu-img info iscsi://10.66.7.27:3260/iqn.2003-01.org.linux-iscsi.localhost.x8664:sn.a8d92ebb4ece/0 --backing-chainimage: json:{"driver": "qcow2", "file": {"lun": "0", "portal": "10.66.7.27:3260", "driver": "iscsi", "transport": "tcp", "target": "iqn.2003-01.org.linux-iscsi.localhost.x8664:sn.a8d92ebb4ece"}}
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 5.0G (5368709120 bytes)
disk size: unavailable
cluster_size: 65536
backing file: iscsi://redhat:redhat@10.66.7.27:3260/iqn.2003-01.org.linux-iscsi.localhost.x8664:sn.9cba196611e6/0
