[Engine-devel] Few detailed REST API questions

[Tim Hildred]

Hey Christopher,

I hope I understand your problem, and I'm not making things more confusing. I mean that if you log into the administration portal, and select the "Hosts" tab, one of your hosts in the data center should be labelled "SPM". 

I'd say anything labelled "Master", you've found in the storage tab. The resources in the "Storage" tab aren't really hosts, even if they are hosted. Storage domains are meant to be understood as abstractions from the actual storage that back them.
