Description Lucy Bopf 2016-08-17 02:08:20 UTC

Users can import existing storage domain into their RHV environment, and choose unregistered disks from that domain to import. Previously, this was only possible through the REST API. Now, this function can be performed from the Administration Portal. This involves scanning for unregistered disks, and then importing them.

Both flows are described in the oVirt feature page.

Importing existing storage domains should be covered in the Administration Guide already.

Comment 1 Andrew Burden 2016-08-22 23:26:53 UTC

New procedure added to Admin Guide (Storage chapter and Virtual Disks chapter) to demonstrate importing an unregistered floating disk from an imported storage domain in the Admin Portal. 
Also in the VMM Guide.

Procedure similar to importing floating disks but with additional 'scan'
