Dear ones,

I beg your pardon for coming back on the same issue: let me rephrase more
succinctly.

A view from the REST API about our data domain is:

>

> https://engine.example.com/ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains' | jq '[

 Is there a way to add to the "hosted_storage" all the available path on
different iSCSI portals and different iSCSI targets, as I did for the
"ovirt-data" storage domain?

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

Best regards,
