that's true for all other root entities as well:
- VM is DC/cluster level
- template is DC level
- disk is storage domain level
- network is DC level
- hosts are cluster level (for now)

yet all of them have their own root collections as well.

I think glustervolumes seems safest/most reasonable for now (either at 
cluster level or root level as well)
