I'm having some trouble creating KVM domains with RBD block devices using
virsh. I've managed to get virsh to define the domain, but it gives an error
when trying to start the domain:
error: Failed to start domain test0
error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: char device 
redirected to /dev/pts/3
kvm: -drive file=rbd:rbd/test0,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw: error 
connecting
kvm: -drive file=rbd:rbd/test0,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw: could 
not open disk image rbd:rbd/test0: No such file or directory

I can, however, successfully run a KVM virtual machine with an RBD block
device with the following command:
kvm -drive file=rbd:rbd/test1,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw -cdrom 
/var/lib/libvirt/images/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso

kvm will boot with the "-drive 
file=rbd:rbd/test0,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw"
options, but the disk is not detected unless "if=none" is removed.

Has anyone else figured this out?

Thank you,
Jeff
