Which Data Center version are you using to attach the Storage Domain to?
If the storage domain meta data indicates that it is already attached to another Data
Center (after DR for example). then you the attach of it will only be supported for Data
Center 3.5.

Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Import FC Storage as iSCSI
When I try to import existing FC storage domain, which consists of two NetAPP
LUN-s cloned from NetAPP snapshots, I get:
Error while executing action Attach Storage Domain: The Domain is already
used by another Data Center.
In order to use it, detach it from the Data Center it is currently attached
to.
Does this mean, that to import existing storage domain, it must be first
(cleanly) detached?
Regards.
