I've attempted to use virt-manager to create a new VM that uses a

before investigating those further I have a question about the
syntax of
the <target> element of a storage volume.
Yeah virt-manager is known to be lacking WRT rbd. I did some work a few
years back but didn't finish it. At least it doesn't know how to
correctly
use a volume with any auth data in the XML. I need to get another rbd
setup
to test with and fix it all
I was investigating the RBD support as well and in order to add proper
support for it into virt-manager we need to add support for secrets.
Right. But I was starting with the assumption that a "storage admin"
setup an rbd-based pool, necessary secrets, etc. Then user creating a
new VM could select existing volumes in the pool or create new ones at
step 4/5 of the VM creation wizard. Currently a user can select an
existing volume or create a new one, but can't progress beyond that
point. I have a hack (attached, based against 1.5.1) to workaround the
problem in virt-manager. Commit 582c1d3d fixed virt-install to copy auth
data from the pool to the device config in domXML and as a first step
I'm trying to do the same with virt-manager.
dropping libvir-list and adding virt-tools-list
Cool, thanks for working on this. Can you provide:
- pool XML you are using
- vol XML
- the backtrace you are hitting
Maybe I can distill that stuff into something that's easy to reproduce
with the testdriver
