⁠12.4. Attaching NFS Storage

Attach an NFS storage domain to the data center in your Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment. This storage domain provides storage for virtualized guest images and ISO boot media. This procedure assumes that you have already exported shares. You must create the data domain before creating the export domain. Use the same procedure to create the export domain, selecting Export / NFS in the Domain Function / Storage Type list.
  1. In the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Administration Portal, click the Storage resource tab.
  2. Click New Domain.

  3. Enter a Name for the storage domain.
  4. Accept the default values for the Data Center, Domain Function / Storage Type, Format, and Use Host lists.
  5. Enter the Export Path to be used for the storage domain.
    The export path should be in the format of 192.168.0.10:/data or domain.example.com:/data.
  6. Click OK.
    The new NFS data domain is displayed in the Storage tab with a status of Locked until the disk is prepared. The data domain is then automatically attached to the data center.
