[libvirt-users] ceph rbd pool and libvirt manageability (virt-install)

[Jelle de Jong]

Hello everybody,

virt-install --version
1.4.0

How do I create a ceph network disk with virt-install without having to
edit it?

    <disk type='network' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <auth username='libvirt'>
        <secret type='ceph' uuid='ec9be0c4-a60f-490e-af83-f0f27aaf48c9'/>
      </auth>
      <source protocol='rbd' name='libvirt-pool/zimbra-dev-disk'>
        <host name='ceph01.powercraft.nl' port='6789'/>
        <host name='ceph02.powercraft.nl' port='6789'/>
        <host name='ceph03.powercraft.nl' port='6789'/>
      </source>
      <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
    </disk>

How do I create an new vm with the -location and -x (kickstarter) but
without booting it, because I need to edit the xml first before the
first boot.

Kind regards and best wishes,

Jelle de Jong
