qemu-kvm and qemu-kvm-ev are usually built from the same src.rpm.
Some newer or advanced virtualization features have been implemented in
qemu-kvm-ev which are not able to be backported to qemu-kvm for
compatibility reasons.
Also, recently qemu-kvm-ev has a newer qemu-kvm version than the one
provided by qemu-kvm being qemu-kvm-ev rebuilt from Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization.

Sandro,

Could you please enumerate the actual technical differences between stock 
qemu-kvm and qemu-kvm-ev?
For example, what could one do with qemu-kvm-ev that cannot with qemu-kvm?

So... how exactly do we proceed?

Anyone from the Virt SIG, please stand up?

Re: [CentOS-virt] Libvirt enhancement requests

2015-10-27 Thread Nux!
To clarify my own request:

RBD (for CEPH) support is available in the version bundled in RHEL 7.2 Beta, so 
we'll have it in CentOS 7.2 (or whatever will be the identifying number).

The hooks seems just like a matter of creating files in the correct location.

..So, all is good in the world once again.


Regards,
Lucian
