Setting Up the RHEV Virtual Infrastructure - Getting Started with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization - page 62

1. Go to the Storage tab, click on New Domain , and give a descriptive name to the
export domain. Select the data center and host.
2. Select the Domain Function / Storage Type as Export / NFS .
3. Leave the rest as default and under the Export Path section, enter your NFS stor-
age server FQDN followed by the export path of the export disk. For example, in
our case, the export path looks like storage.example.com:/export/
rhev_import_export_disk . Click on OK . Refer to the following screen-
shot:
4. Now, the export disk will start to show up in an unattached state for some time
before coming to the active state on its own.
5. Also, you might notice an option called Import Domain under the Storage tab;
you need to use this to move your export domain, which was configured earlier,
or ISO domain across multiple data centers in the RHEV.
So, we now have three storage domains attached and activated on our RHEV data center.
One is of the Data type to store virtual machine images, the second is to store ISO, and
the third is to export and import virtual machines and templates across data centers. And
the stage is set to create and manage your first virtual machine on your RHEV infrastruc-
ture, which we are going to see in detail in the next chapter.
