env (or using virtualised https://github.com/shapeblue/mbx) with Linstor 
storage with KVM as the only primary storage. Or a set of manual tests. We can 
merge based on your provided test results and regression smoketests, and after 
all review items are addressed.

   > So I'm in the middle of setup a new cluster with just Linstor as primary 
storage, and in the setup wizard I noticed that only the options for (nfs, 
SharedMountPoint, RBD, CLVM, Gluster). So why are here solidfire, datera and 
others missing and is it ok to add the default nfs primary storage and afteward 
deleted it and add just a Linstor one? Or should I be able to already pick 
Linstor here?
   
   @rp- The protocol while adding primary storage from the UI, is basically 
used to build the url of the storage pool.
   
   Protocol:

   Provider:

   In your case, you can either use a new protocol 'Linstor', Otherwise use 
'custom' protocol and make sure the 'Linstor' provider is selected, to general 
the url for the storage pool and pass to createStoragePool API.
