This is the relevant error. If you don't have an /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
file, or it (or the keyring file possibly) is unreadable by qemu due to
apparmor/selinux etc, you'll need to specify all the information needed
to connect in the drive xml. This includes the monitor host and the
libvirt secret uuid, i.e.:
<disk type='network' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source protocol='rbd' name='rbd/test0'>
<host name='thinkmate3' port='6789'/>
<host name='thinkmate4' port='6789'/>
</source>
<auth username='admin'>
<secret type='ceph' uuid='f0836fcb-9c05-5ccf-653a-eb1d0308e247'/>
</auth>
<target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04'
function='0x0'/>
</disk>
