This patch adds RBD (RADOS Block Device) support for primary storage in combination with KVM.
To get this patch working you need:
- libvirt-java 0.4.8
- libvirt with RBD storage pool support (>0.9.13)
- Qemu with RBD support (>0.14)
The primary storage does not support all the functions of CloudStack yet, for example snapshotting is disabled
due to the fact that backupping up a RBD snapshot is not possible in the way CloudStack wants to do it.
Creating templates from RBD volumes goes well, creating a VM from a template however is still a hit-and-miss.
NFS primary storage is also still required, you are not able to run your System VM's from RBD, they will need
to run on NFS.
Other then these points you can run instances with RBD backed disks.

Implement UI for managing VPC tiers, via a custom chart-like UI list
tiers and allowing the management of VMs associated with the VPCs.
Implement ability to add and modify Nexus vSwitches at the cluster
level:
-Add new fields to add cluster form, to allow addition of a vSwitch
-Add new tab to VMware clusters to list cluster's vSwitch
-Add details panel to vSwitch allowing enable, disable, and removal of
vSwitch from cluster
Adds new action, upload volume, to the storage->volumes list view
header. This will present a dialog to specify URL & name of volume,
and select a VM to attach the volume to.
Server API calls are still incomplete and rely on hardcoded values.
-Add additional shortcuts for:
-Primary storage
-Secondary storgage
-Virtual routers
-System VMs
-Replace host stats with the new shortcuts
-Add 'zone' dropdown to create form for the newly added-shortcuts'
sections, to support creating these items without a zone context
On the physical resources dashboard, add a button to view all
resources for pods, clusters, and hosts. This will compile a
list view containing the resources across all zones.
In order to be able to add resources when in this zone-inspecific mode,
a zone drop-down had to be added to the create forms for
pods, clusters, and hosts.
-Allow for editing of traffic labels within the zone wizard; visible
by going to the create physical network(s) step and clicking the
'edit' button under each traffic type.
-Make hypervisor selection part of the create zone step, instead of
the add cluster step -- this is to allow the physical network UI to
have the selected hypervisor for the edit traffic labels dialog.
-Show drag-and-drop UI for basic zone setup, so that user can edit
traffic labels for a basic zone. Note that user can only have one
physical network here.
-Allow creation of storage traffic in a basic zone configuration, by
optionally dragging storage traffic type icon to first physical
network
