When a RHEV host has a problem with storage, it should tell me **which** storage

I spent a few frustrating hours last night trying to set up a new RHEV-H host in a RHEV data center. Adding the host continued to fail with this maddeningly vague error:

Host thing3.example.local cannot access one of the Storage Domains attached to the Data Center ExampleDataCenter. Setting Host state to Non-Operational.

With help from Red Hat Support, we eventually found and fixed the problem. Everything is up and running - see support case number 01057416. Case number 01055019 has a different variation on this same theme.

This customer has 6 iSCSI storage domains in the RHEV environment and that error message is too vague. Of the 6 iSCSI LUNs RHEV-M told this host to connect, which one(s) had a problem? The message should be more specific. Had RHEV-M told me specifically which storage this host could not find, that would have saved a support call. So count me in as voting for an RFE to add this to a future version of RHEV - when it has a storage problem, tell me which storage.

thanks
