[ovirt-users] Unable to import hosted engine storage domain in 3.6RC with FC storage

[Christopher Miersma]

I've tried importing using the ovirt-shell, and a python script, but I'm 
having trouble figuring out what options to use to properly import an FC 
repository. The examples at http://www.ovirt.org/Testing/PythonApi use 
NFS or iSCSI. The 5 overload options for api.storagedomains.add() and 
the "add storagedomain," I found in the python API and in the 
ovirt-shell all seem to be requiring parameters for either a file system 
path or iSCSI. To test the import process, I tried removing another 
unused fibre channel storage domain and reimporting it. While that 
storage domain showed up in the web interface and could be imported via 
the web UI, I couldn't find the right options to import it in the python 
API or the ovirt-shell.
