Havana & RBD - a few problems

Hi all
we have installed a Havana OpenStack cluster with RBD as the backing storage for volumes, images and the ephemeral images. The code as delivered in https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/libvirt/imagebackend.py#L498 fails, because the RBD.path it not set. I have patched this to read:

@@ -419,10 +419,12 @@ class Rbd(Image):
         if path:
             try:
                 self.rbd_name = path.split('/')[1]
+                self.path = path
             except IndexError:
                 raise exception.InvalidDevicePath(path=path)
         else:
             self.rbd_name = '%s_%s' % (instance['name'], disk_name)
+            self.path = 'volumes/%s' % self.rbd_name
         self.snapshot_name = snapshot_name
         if not CONF.libvirt_images_rbd_pool:
             raise RuntimeError(_('You should specify'

but am not sure this is correct. I have the following problems:

1) can't inject data into image

2013-11-07 16:59:25.251 24891 INFO nova.virt.libvirt.driver [req-f813ef24-de7d-4a05-ad6f-558e27292495 c66a737acf0545fdb9a0a920df0794d9 2096e25f5e814882b5907bc5db342308] [instance: 2fa02e4f-f804-4679-9507-736eeebd9b8d] Injecting key into

0089_disk with libguestfs (volumes/instance-00000089_disk: No such file or directory))

possibly the self.path = … is wrong - but what are the correct values?


2) Creating a new instance from an ISO image fails completely - no bootable disk found, says the KVM console. Related?

3) When creating a new instance from an image (non ISO images work), the disk is not resized to the size specified in the flavor (but left at the size of the original image)

I would be really grateful, if those people that have Grizzly/Havana running with an RBD backend could pipe in here…

thanks
Jens-Christian
