7.7.1. Importing Existing ISO or Export Storage Domains
Summary
You have an ISO or export domain that you have been using with a different data center. You want to attach it to the data center you are using, and import virtual machines or use ISOs.
Procedure 7.12. Importing an Existing ISO or Export Storage Domain
- Click the resource tab to list all the available storage domains in the results list.
- Select the appropriate Domain Function / Storage Type from the following:
- ISO
- Export
The Domain Function / Storage Type determines the availability of the Format field. - Select the SPM host from the Use host drop-down menu.
Important
All communication to the storage domain is via the selected host and not from the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. At least one host must be active and have access to the storage before the storage can be configured. - Enter the Export path of the storage. The export path can be either a static IP address or a resolvable hostname. For example,
192.168.0.10:/Images/ISOorstorage.demo.redhat.com:/exports/iso. - Click to import the domain and close the window.
- The storage domain is imported and displays on the Storage tab. The next step is to attach it to a data center. This is described later in this chapter, .
Result
You have imported your export or ISO domain to you data center. Attach it to a data center to use it.
