This also would involve enabling the block-nbd driver in QEMU which is currently disabled in RHEL.
Comment 4 Dor Laor 2010-10-21 09:23:55 UTC 
Antony, would IBM be able to send the patches as well as test the code?
Comment 5 IBM Bug Proxy 2010-10-21 12:51:25 UTC 
------- Comment From aliguori.com 2010-10-21 08:45 EDT-------
Yes, we will certainly provide testing support.  We will also provide the necessary patches.
Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2010-11-11 12:16:16 UTC 
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request.  You may appeal
this decision by reopening this request.
Comment 7 Dor Laor 2010-11-11 12:47:53 UTC 
The bot closed it, re-opening but we won't support that for 6.1. Let's discuss it over a conf call
Comment 8 John Jarvis 2011-05-26 19:41:03 UTC 
Insufficient capacity to deliver in 6.2, moving to 6.3.
Comment 9 Dor Laor 2011-10-16 09:32:32 UTC 
Our internal design is to use external iscsi instead of nbd:
http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/LiveBlockMigration so unless there is really good advantage of nbd, we'll rather not incorporate it.

Red Hat, please go ahead and close this on your side.  It is closed on the IBM side.
Comment 11 John Jarvis 2011-10-18 14:58:34 UTC 
Closing to match IBM status.
