Comment 8 Vivian Bian 2011-08-15 07:01:30 UTC 
Tested with 
libvirt-0.8.7-18.el6_1.1.x86_64
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
