Just a note that RHEL 7.1 and RHEL 6.7 are going to ship a qemu with librbd support compiled in.

For rhel/centos 7.0 rbd is supported in the qemu-kvm-rhev package. Sandon can help if that's not already available on the lab mirrors.

For rhel/centos 6 we could use packages here: http://ceph.com/packages/qemu-kvm/

Sandon and I discussed this in the infrastructure standup today.

The qemu-kvm-1.5.3-82.el7 package that shipped in the public RHEL 7.1 Beta does not have RBD support. RBD support shipped in the next release, qemu-kvm-1.5.3-83.el7, and that version (actually, even newer versions) are available in the Red Hat High Touch Beta repository. The exact repository name is "rhel-7-server-htb-rpms" in "subscription-manager repos --list".

After you run subscription-manager to register the server, you can use "yum --enablerepo=rhel-7-server-htb-rpms update qemu-kvm" so that you only activate the High Touch Beta for that one yum operation if you want.

See #13669 for removing the "*-rhev" packages, now that CentOS 7.1 is released.
