2.7. Create NFS Data Storage

An NFS data storage domain is a mounted NFS share attached to a data center and provides storage for virtualized guest images.

Example 2.7. Create an NFS data storage domain

POST /rhevm-api/storagedomains HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<storage_domain>
  <name>data1</name>
  <type>data</type>
  <storage>
    <type>nfs</type>
    <address>192.168.0.10</address>
    <path>/data1</path>
  </storage>
  <host>
    <name>hypervisor</name>
  </host>
</storage_domain>

The API creates a NFS data storage domain called data1 with an export path of 192.168.0.10:/data1 and sets access to the storage domain through the hypervisor host. The API also returns the following representation of the newly created storage domain resource:
