Re: [ovirt-users] CEPH rbd support in EL7 libvirt
Hi Nir,
I have not tried to use Ovirt with Ceph, my question was about libvirt and was directed to
ask the question here, sorry for the noise; I understand libvirt is not really ovirt's
people concern.
The thing is qemu can do ceph rbd in EL7, libvirt does not, although support seems to be
there and a simple rebuild enables it.
Was hoping you guys know more.
Lucian

RHEL 7.1 supports rbd out of the box; so should be current CentOS 7.
We do not use libvirt storage pool for ovirt, so I don't think you
need to build anything.
Also, we do not access rbd volumes via libvirt. When we run vms using
rbd: volumes, libvirt
pass the volume url to qemu, and qemu access the volume. So we may not
need any rbd
support in libvirt itself.
Did you try to use ceph with ovirt 3.6 on CentOS?
