After doing many experiments and inputs I got from vijay on IRC, this is
what finally worked.
1) volume set <volname> server.allow-insecure on
2) option rpc-auth-allow-insecure on in glusterd.vol
If either of the above is not present, i get the same "unable to get
volfile" error.
I have tried setting virsh (actually libvirt) to spawn qemu process as
'root', 'vdsm' and 'qemu' user
and it fails for all the 3 if either of the above is NOT set.
Only when both of the above is set, it works for me and I am able to
start a VM via virsh.
Strangely enuf, on Bharata's machine, none of the above options are set,
but it still works for him !
How why is the difference is not clear.
But for now, i think i am good to go for my vdsm work, as this part of
the stack is now working.
thanx,
deepak
