Hosts for rbd are ceph monitor daemons. These have fixed IP addresses, so they are often referenced by IP rather than hostname for convenience, or to avoid relying on DNS. Using IPv4 addresses as the host name works already, but IPv6 addresses require rbd-specific escaping because the colon is used as an option separator in the string passed to qemu. Escape these colons, and enclose the IPv6 address in square brackets so it is distinguished from the port, which is currently mandatory.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description

virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
