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
If you include the escaping in the XML, does it currently work? <host name='[2205::192:168:205:141]' port='6789'/>
Yes, It works.
escaping because the colon is used as an option separator in the string passed to librados.
Escape these colons, and enclose the IPv6 address in square brackets so it is distinguished from the port, which is currently mandatory.

By using this helper function, we won't try to escape an address that is already escaped.
Also, instead of copying the whole virBuffer call twice, it would be nicer to assign the format to a temporary variable like we do in qemuMigrationDstPrepare
Jano
Good point. I'd sending a v2.
