[ovirt-users] Attaching storage to VM via JSON REST

[Andrew Morrison]

If I try to use a storage domains object and a list of a storage domain, I
get a rather large Java stack trace of the same type as when I have a key
named incorrectly or when the request generally contains invalid parameters.

Thanks,
Andrew
