This implements support for firmware loader & NVRAM disks over network-backed disks. As discussed in https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2018-March/msg01721.html, the patch embeds the <source> spec for disks in <loader> and <nvram> elements as well.
Currently, the source type is annotated by introducing a new attribute "backing" for both 'loader' and 'nvram' elements. Hence, a sample XML with new annotation looks like this: <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash' backing='file'> <source file='/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd'/> </loader> <nvram backing='network'> <source protocol='iscsi' name='iqn.2013-07.com.example:iscsi-nopool/0'> <host name='example.com' port='6000'/> </source> The patche automatically re-formats any older-stype declaration into this new style. Templates can be used to create a new NVRAM only if the nvram backing = 'file'. -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
