I've attempted to use virt-manager to create a new VM that uses a volume from an rbd-based network pool, but have not been able to progress past step 4/5 where VM storage is selected. It appears virt-manager has problems properly detecting the volume as network-based storage, but before investigating those further I have a question about the syntax of the <target> element of a storage volume.
Yeah virt-manager is known to be lacking WRT rbd. I did some work a few years back but didn't finish it. At least it doesn't know how to correctly use a volume with any auth data in the XML. I need to get another rbd setup to test with and fix it all
I was investigating the RBD support as well and in order to add proper support for it into virt-manager we need to add support for secrets. With secrets the issue is that they don't have any name, only UUID or usage can be sensible ID from virt-manager POV and our current object caching code expects name for objects and that's where I've stopped.
