Re: [libvirt] about support quorum and replication in xml

Re-asking the same question multiple times within a day will not get you a faster reply: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-July/msg01218.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-July/msg01220.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-July/msg01267.html On Fri, Jul 28, 2017 at 15:27:11 +0800, wang.guang55(a)zte.com.cn wrote: There were a few attempts to implement it in libvirt but none of them was willing enough to finish the work given that it required extensive refactors to the code base. Currently I don't know of anybody working on this. Please note that I'm currently refactoring the setup of disks in qemu to use node names (which will be usefull for adding quorum). Patches created during this time will either overlap or conflict, so this might not be the greatest time to implement that feature. As a side note. Adding support for quourum disks will also require figuring out snapshots and other blockjobs with quorum disks in the backing chain and for backing chains below the quorum driver. All of this will probably require to use the blockdev commands with node names. Additionally quorum will need to be based on the refactor to store the full backing chain in the XML. While it would be possible to define the qorum drive in the backing chain via the JSON-pseudo-protocol syntax. Things are way more complicated once you have multiple images to deal with.
