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.

qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.160.el6_1.7.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-131.12.1.el6.x86_64

1. Define a secret with an XML document.
    # cat demo-secret.xml
    <secret ephemeral='no' private='no'>
      <uuid>0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccc2f80d6f</uuid>
      <usage type='volume'>
        <volume>/var/lib/libvirt/images/demo.qcow2</volume>
      </usage>
    </secret>
    # virsh secret-define demo-secret.xml
    Secret 0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccc2f80d6f created
2. Set the value of the secret.
    # MYSECRET=`echo "open seseme" | base64`
    # virsh secret-set-value 0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccc2f80d6f $MYSECRET
    Secret value set
3. Define and active a pool with the following XML.
    # cat demo-pool.xml
    <pool type='dir'>
      <name>VirtualMachines</name>
      <source>
      </source>
      <target>
        <path>/var/lib/libvirt/images</path>
      </target>
    </pool>
    # virsh pool-define demo-pool.xml
    Pool VirtualMachines defined from demo-pool.xml
    # virsh pool-start VirtualMachines
    Pool VirtualMachines started
4. To create an encrypted volume within this pool with the follwing XML.
# cat demo-disk.xml
      <volume>
        <name>demo.qcow2</name>
        <capacity>5368709120</capacity>
        <target>
          <format type='qcow2'/>
          <encryption format='qcow'>
            <secret type='passphrase'
uuid='0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccc2f80d6f'/>
          </encryption>
        </target>
      </volume>
5. # virsh vol-create VirtualMachines demo-disk.xml
    Vol demo.qcow2 created from demo-disk.xml
6. # virsh vol-list VirtualMachines
Name                 Path
