3.9. Example: Create NFS ISO Storage
An NFS ISO storage domain is a mounted NFS share attached to a data center and provides storage for DVD/CD-ROM ISO and virtual floppy disk (VFD) image files. Creation of a new storage domain requires a
POST request, with the storage domain representation included, sent to the URL of the storage domain collection.
Example 3.8. Create an NFS ISO storage domain
Request:
POST /api/storagedomains HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml
<storage_domain>
<name>iso1</name>
<type>iso</type>
<storage>
<type>nfs</type>
<address>192.168.0.10</address>
<path>/iso1</path>
</storage>
<host>
<name>hypervisor</name>
</host>
</storage_domain>
cURL command:
# curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/xml" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" \
-u [USER:PASS] --cacert [CERT] \
-d "<storage_domain><name>iso1</name><type>iso</type> \
<storage><type>nfs</type><address>192.168.0.10</address> \
<path>/iso1</path></storage> \
<host><name>hypervisor</name></host></storage_domain>" \
https://[RHEVM Host]:443/api/storagedomains
The API creates a NFS iso storage domain called
iso1 with an export path of 192.168.0.10:/iso1 and gets access to the storage domain through the hypervisor host. The API also returns the following representation of the newly created storage domain resource.
Result:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Accept: application/xml
