Thanks for the clarification!

Is there any way to use an existing Filer for the NFS storage? Or do I HAVE to use a host?
We currently have a NetApp filer serving as our NFS server; I'd rather use that than create a new host and make it the NFS server (as it won't get backed up...would rather have it get backed up as the Filer already has that in place)
I think there is no problem in using your NetApp filer, in fact that works very well. Just make sure that the exports that you use for ovirt are owned and writable by the user id 36 (vdsm) and group id 36 (kvm).
