Hi Shafi,
A Storage Domain in oVirt is like a Storage Pool in a stand-alone KVM host.
To create a virtual disk on a stand-alone KVM host, a storage pool must exist where you
create the virtual disk. The same for oVirt, to upload or to create a virtual disk, a
Storage Domain must exist.
After uploading the disk to the Storage Domain, you can attach it to a VM.

Subject: [External] : [ovirt-users] Create Vm without Storage Domain
Hi Team ,
I am new to Ovirt and have been using KVM off late . I use libvirt (virt or virsh
commands) to create and manage Vms .
I have a pretty basic doubt in OVirt . I was trying to migrate a VM from my KVM host .I
copied my .qcow2 virtual disk to the ovirt host.
I am able to create a Vm after uploading the disk to a new storage domain and create a VM
with the storage domain.
Can I create a VM without using a storage domain ( By directly attaching the copied .qcow2
disk ) to the Vm
Regards
Shafi
