libvirt itself doesn't connect to the cluster unless you're using a libvirt storage pool, so I don't think there's a way to do this without getting the secret from libvirt and running a ceph command line tool with it, e.g. KEY=$(virsh secret-get-value ...) ceph health --key $KEY Josh On 02/11/2014 09:08 AM, Scott Sullivan wrote:
I know I would still have to provide the Mon addresses and Cephx user to go with the secret UUID, that's fine. The primary goal is so I can just see if I can open a RADOS connection to the cluster before I try a virsh attach-device.

As the subject suggests, I am wondering if its possible to verify if the currently defined libvirt secret provides valid authentication via Cephx to a Ceph cluster?
I ask because ideally I would like to verify that the given cephx credentials in my libvirt secret are valid before I even attempt the virsh attach-device on the domain.
I tried searching for a solution to this, but I can't seem to find a way to _just_ check if the currently defined libvirt secret provides valid authentication to the Ceph cluster or not. Is this possible?
