Exactly. Ovirt will monitor storage only if it knows about it.I would use autofs or
systemd's '.mount' + '.automount' unit files to automatically mount
and umount the NFS.
In worst case scenario, you will have only several stale NFS mount points (if using the
hard option) and those most of the time can be recovered without reboot.

If I'm understanding you correctly, it sounds like you're suggesting that I just
connect 1 (or multiple) hosts to the NFS mount manually, and don't use the oVirt
manager to build the backup domain. Then just run this script on a cron or something - is
that correct?
