RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Daniel Berrangé 2016-12-21 14:09:21 UTC 
Description of problem:
The current LUKS encryption support can only be used in combination with local files or block devices. This needs to be extended to cover usage with the QEMU native RBD, Gluster, iSCSI, NFS backends which don't expose any file in the host. It should already be possible to enable this at the QEMU level, so it should be a matter of just wiring up libvirt command line generator.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-2.0.0-10.el7

Block devices as well? I could not make it working and libvirt docs shows only volume as file example http://libvirt.org/formatstorageencryption.html

So is luks block device supported by libvirt?

I meants using a logical storage pool in libvirt.
