[ovirt-users] Re: oVirt on a Single Server

That was my original configuration, but I found that it wouldn't let me add the local machine as a host, and so I thought perhaps I needed to use the self-hosted deployment methodology instead. Would a regular engine be better for my deployment type? If so, I can investigate why that isn't working, and start over.
