[Users] could not add iscsi disk in ovirt.

Fri Sep 27 10:59:52 EDT 2013

you don't have to reconfigure engine to create iscsi pool.
you can create multiple pools, the only limitation is that you will need 
a host for the each of the DCs.
but you can move one host from one DC to another...
so if you have 2 hosts just create a new DC and move one of the hosts 
there.

I think that the direct lun is only for iscsi and fiber but I can give 
you a 100% certainty answer on Monday.

I don't think its supported for NFS... I can check for you on Monday for 
sure.
