I have the below scenario of my KVM

I have 1 physical machine with KVM running 10 virtual machines.I need an explanation on the behavior of NFS.

My webvirtmgr is installed as a VM on that same physical machine so when i set up NFS storage using openfiler ,i managed to get it up working with no problems but i need an insight on the behaviour of NFS.

the complete scenario is below

webvirtmgr is installed as a VM so thats where i setup the NFS client connecting to openfiler [no problem here] but somehow when i create a folder say /var/isoimages.....this folder has to be created also on the host machine in order for the NFS pool to come up ? why is it behaving this way

but all the fstab mount commands are only done on the webvirtmgr but the directory has to exist on the host machine ,can someone explain
