Create a NFS (version 3) share and make it accessible to the hypervisors for each engine. (It should be a dedicated NFS share, not used for anything else.) As I recall it should be owned by vdsm:vdsm (36:36). In one of the engines (doesn’t matter which), in the web admin page go to Storage and add a new NFS based export domain, using the NFS share you created. Once it’s activated, test it out; try right-clicking on a VM to “export” it. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Note that there can only be one engine connected to a given export domain at any one time.

It should recognize that you already have an export domain setup under that NFS share.
