for rbd, how to use qmp directly to add dick
Hi, all: in my case, i need to add device via qmp. but for rbd drive needs a secret object. how to produce secret object. 'base64 -d' outputs unreadable code . -object secret,id=virtio-disk0-secret0,data=2YVH6svMZa42RfVx8MbIIVjtU6iGO8QzFADuDnLk7BU=,keyid=masterKey0,iv=/m3QyHQ33NeMEfDDMuDEeg==,format=base64 thanks

Could you please explain what you are trying to achieve? Or why libvirt hotplug API is not sufficient to you?

The secret data is encrypted by a per-VM key (see keyid masterKey0). For testing purposes you can add also secrets in plaintext (format=plain). I can point you to qemu documentation on secrets if you want, but first I want to know why you are not using libvirt APIs directly.
-object secret,id=virtio-disk0-secret0,data=2YVH6svMZa42RfVx8MbIIVjtU6iGO8QzFADuDnLk7BU=,keyid=masterKey0,iv=/m3QyHQ33NeMEfDDMuDEeg==,format=base64
