Unable to import hosted engine storage domain in 3.6RC with FC storage
Hi All, I'm having an issue with the current release candidate for 3.6, running on CentOS 7. I'm trying to install the hosted engine on fibre channel storage. I can successfully install the VM, and get everything up and running, but the hosted engine VM itself does not appear in the web interface, nor does the storage domain on which the hosted engine's disks reside appear. When I create a new storage domain on the SAN, I can see the LUN on which the hosted engine resides, but it is greyed out. When I first started the cluster and got the host and engine VM installed and running, it gave me the message " The Hosted Engine Storage Domain doesn't exist. It shoudl be imported into the setup." I've tried importing and attaching the storage domain, but it simply doesn't appear in the interface to allow me to import it. I've tired every Attach/Import/Activate screen that I could find. I've also opened a bug report (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1267337), but with no success so far. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Can you import the hosted engine storage domain after setup, and if so on what kind of storage? From some of the posts I've seen, it looks like people are getting it to work with NFS and maybe iSCSI, but I haven't seen anyone else mention Fibre Channel. Christopher Miersma

Can you try to import the hosted_storage domain using REST and not via UI? NFS and ISCSI do work. Also Bug 1261996 did solve a but on import (I'm no sure this is on your release candidate)

Also, there is a bug (and a patch) to import the SD automatically https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1269768
