I don't really know anything about drbd, but any feature requests like this usually start at the libvirt level. Reassigning This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.

I still don't know what this entails, but either way probably best suited for the upstream tracker Libvirt supports several distributed block stores now: ceph/rbd, gluster, sheepdog. Tracking drbd support here isn't going to yield any results unfortunately, someone needs to show up and provide the patches. So closing this as DEFERRED |
Description of problem: Setting up a host with drdb on top of lvm, then handling these devices as block devices to kvm has several advantages, but one big disadvantage: libvirt does not know anything about drbd, as does virt-manager. It is not possible to define a pool of drbd for example Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt 0.8.8 virt-manager 0.8.6 How reproducible: Allways Steps to Reproduce: 1. install libvirt, virtmanager 2. create lvm block devices with same size on two hosts 3. configure a drbd 4. create a new VM, assign the created lvm-device 5. change the lvm device to the created drbd, by editing the domains config file ("virsh edit <domain>". Search for /dev/<your vg>/<your lv>. Replace with /dev/drbd/by-res/<your drbd-name> 6. start the domain. It'll use the drbd. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Would be nice if virt-manager and libvirt know about drbd's.
