I have a fresh install of CS4.3 and going to configure Ceph RBD device as 
primary storage. I can’t see this type at drop-down list (only nfs,  clvm and 
shared mountpoint are available).

I use CS 4.3 on KVM and Ceph.
No problem with ceph, but I upgraded from 4.1 to 4.3, so, sorry, I've no answer for this.

           Do I need to install libvirt on managment servers as well ?
           Will it be a problem to work with different versions of libvirt 
(ubuntu 12 and 14 have different) ?


Yes there will be.

I updated hosts from Ubuntu 13.04 (libvirt 1.0.2) to 14.04 libvirt (1.2.2) and, when in mixed environment, i had this issues:

1- User VM on 13.04 hosts migrated to 14.04 hosts with a failure rate of about 5%. In case of failure, the result was a crash of the VM, kernel panic, and need to stop and start the VM from Cloudstack.

1a- In some cases (another 5%, more or less) the issue was a loss of connectivity from and to VMs. Network restarting inside the VM had no results and the solution was a VM reboot from Cloudstack

2- Users VM on 14.04 hosts didn't migrate to 13.04 hosts and resulted in an error like this:
"""

"""

3 - Most of System VM hanged or went to panic during migration from 13.04 to 14.04 hosts. In one case, migrating a Virtual Router resulted in lost of connectivity from and to VMs connected to that router. I stopped and started all migrated System VM / Virtual router to avoid further issues.

4- Once all hosts was migrated to 14.04, no additional issues resulted to me.

Hope this helps
