I have sent the v8. But the usage is not changed. You can setup the environment
according to the wiki.
When we open nbd client, we need to connect to the nbd server. So I introduce a
new command child_add to add NBD client
as a quorum child when the nbd server is ready.
The nbd server is ready after you run the following command:
nbd_server_start 0:6262 # the secondary qemu will listen to host:port
nbd_server_add -w mc1 # the NBD server will know this disk is used as NBD
server. The export name is its id wc1.
# -w means we allow to write to this disk.
Then you can run the following command in the primary qemu:
child_add disk1
child.driver=replication,child.mode=primary,child.file.host=127.0.0.1,child.file.port=6262,child.file.export=mc1,child.file.driver=nbd,child.ignore-errors=on
After this monitor command, nbd client has connected to the nbd server.
