12.9. Sub-Collections
12.9.1. Files Sub-Collection
The
files sub-collection under each storage domain provides a way for clients to list available files. This sub-collection is specifically targeted to ISO storage domains, which contain ISO images and virtual floppy disks (VFDs) that an administrator uploads through Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager.
The addition of a CD-ROM device to a VM requires an ISO image from the
files sub-collection of an ISO storage domain.

Like other resources, files have opaque
id and href attributes. The name element contains the filename.
