Native rbd support for ceph in RHEL KVM and libvirt will only be provided in RHEL 7, and will not be backported to RHEL 6.

Hi Scott, 

I'm confused that you definitely confirmed that native rbd would not be supported by RHEL KVM and libvirt in RHEL 6. However, Native ceph(rbd) has already been supported by Qemu KVM in RHEL6.7, see Bug 1154876. 
So I'd like to confirm with you again that if libvirt should support it in RHEL 6, including in virtual disks and storage pool/volume.

Regards 
Yang

This functionality should not have been included in qemu kvm, and will be reverted.  Red Hat will not be providing native rbd ceph support in RHEL 6, and will only be providing it in RHEL 7.
