<p>
The libvirt public API delegates its implementation to one or
more internal drivers, depending on the <a href="uri.html">connection URI</a>
passed when initializing the library. There is always a hypervisor driver
active, and if the libvirt daemon is available there will usually be a
network and storage driver active.

storage backend: Add RBD (RADOS Block Device) support This patch adds support for a new storage backend with RBD support. RBD is the RADOS Block Device and is part of the Ceph distributed storage system. It comes in two flavours: Qemu-RBD and Kernel RBD, this storage backend only supports Qemu-RBD, thus limiting the use of this storage driver to Qemu only. To function this backend relies on librbd and librados being present on the local system. The backend also supports Cephx authentication for safe authentication with the Ceph cluster. For storing credentials it uses the built-in secret mechanism of libvirt. Signed-off-by: Wido den Hollander <wido@widodh.nl>

Add a sheepdog backend for the storage driver This patch brings support to manage sheepdog pools and volumes to libvirt. It uses the "collie" command-line utility that comes with sheepdog for that. A sheepdog pool in libvirt maps to a sheepdog cluster. It needs a host and port to connect to, which in most cases is just going to be the default of localhost on port 7000. A sheepdog volume in libvirt maps to a sheepdog vdi. To create one specify the pool, a name and the capacity. Volumes can also be resized later. In the volume XML the vdi name has to be put into the <target><path>. To use the volume as a disk source for virtual machines specify the vdi name as "name" attribute of the <source>. The host and port information from the pool are specified inside the host tag. <disk type='network'> ... <source protocol="sheepdog" name="vdi_name"> <host name="localhost" port="7000"/> </source> </disk> To work right this patch parses the output of collie, so it relies on the raw output option. There recently was a bug which caused size information to be reported wrong. This is fixed upstream already and will be in the next release. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Wiedenroth <wiedi@frubar.net>
