If the storage component has to be provided by that host itself you have
to use local storage based datacenter and storage domains as well:

If you want to retain the default datacenter created during
installation, you have to edit it and set it as "Local" in "Storage
Type" section.
Or you could create a new DC with that setting
There is also the option to install with Self Hosted Engine and use
shared storage (NFS, SAN, iSCSI,...) if you have one available:

Or with the same guide use the host storage itself, but as GlusterFS and
eventually extend it later if/when available with other hosts
Of course in that case you loose all the HA functions available at host
level
Idea is to run a single host, which will be used just for some tests.
So, hosted engine on that single host is not a possibility if the
storage will be local storage provided by that single host?
