12.3. Import Existing Storage Domain

API provides a user with the ability to remove an ISO or Export storage domain from one Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager instance without re-formatting the underlying storage and import it into another instance. Importing is achieved similarly to adding a new storage domain, except that the name is ignored and not required.
