Looks like there has been some quick movement from the RedHat guys.  From the most recent update looks like a patch for the existing 7.3 libvirt for virtio-scsi cephx hotplug problem is in flight, so there’s that. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1406442 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1406442>

Even Openstack aside, libvirt itself on 7.3 couldn’t recognize any of our defined VMs - kept giving a message of “ No path to ‘ ‘ “ just trying to do a ‘virsh list’.   We ended up adding an additional yum repo definition pointing to the older 7.2 repo and doing a yum history rollback and we’ve stopped pointing to the 7.3 repo altogether.  We had other problems with Cent 7.3 as well, unrelated to virtualization.

As far as I can tell the libvirt 2.0.0 that ships with 7.3 doesn’t behave the same way as the 1.2.17 that ships with 7.2 when using ceph with cephx auth during volume attachment using virtio-scsi.  It looks like it fails to add the cephx secret.  The telltale signs are "No secret with id 'scsi0-0-0-1-secret0’” in the /var/log/libvirt/qemu instance logs.  I’ve filed a bug here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1406442 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1406442> and there is a libvirt mailing list  thread about a fix for libvirt 2.5.0 for what looks like this same problem https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-October/msg00396.html <https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-October/msg00396.html>  I’m out of ideas for workarounds having had kind of a disastrous attempt at downgrading to libvirt 1.2.17, so if anybody has any suggestions I’m all ears.
