I'm afraid NFS was a red herring. NFS shares from the host to the engine 
are not required for basic oVirt operation, correct?
If I understand Sandro correctly, that should not be affecting my 
storage connections to engine. I'm sorry I brought it up - it was my 
misunderstanding.

I believe the first thing to look at is why the ISO domain is unattached 
to my Default Datacenter, is that correct? Then my Datacenter should 
become operational, and I can add a Data Domain.

I can manually mount the ISO_DOMAIN directory on both my host and my 
engine without issues (it resides on my engine).

So why is my Datacenter not visible when I go to attach my ISO domain?
