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 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  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.

What's extra annoying is that I can't find RPM's for the old libvirt
version (1.2.17-13) that I'd been using previously. I have KVM that I
build from SRPM a while ago, but not libvirt. I can find the libvirt
SRPM, but my ceph libs are still 0.80.11 and the librados2-devel and
librbd1-devel packages that the libvirt SRPM depends on are no longer
available. I get not supporting older releases, but why delete it
outright?

>From another post, it also sounds like there's an issue with this
release when running with cpu_mode=host-model, which I am, so that'll
be another mess. This is what I get for not running a local repo I
guess.

If anyone has copies of libvirt-1.2.17-13 RPMs for EL7 lying about,
please do post a link. I would be very grateful. I'm trying to roll
out a few new computes and it sounds like I'll be running into this
without them.
