What I did was the following (probably missing quite a few steps) - create (minimum) two folders, one for hosted-engine storage, one for data storage, iso and export optional - create exports in /etc/exports - start nfs server - make sure permissions are 36:36 on the exports - start the nfs server - check if the mounts work (problem areas are: iptables/selinux) - install ovirt repo - install hosted-engine - run 'hosted-engine --deploy' - I installed from centos-7 iso but appliance should work too, no experience with it - enter the correct path when asked for the hosted storage, nfs and fqdn:/path-to-nfs-he-share - follow the instruction, not much needs changing from the default - Networkmanager still seems a problem, use static ip, don't try to bridge wifi :-) - If the engine is started using the ha-agent/broker it can take a while before the webui is available - If everything goes OK engine will claim and insert the hosted storage domain in the database and make it visible in the webui - DONT use it for VMs - create a new data domain on fqdn:/nfs/ovirt/data (or whatever your path is) - wait until its up - start creating VMs My case is a laptop running F22 with hosted-engine on it using a nfs server provided by my F22 host, engine itself is Centos7. So all storage is on my host but if I want I can move it somewhere else, add storage from somewhere else because I'm nog using local storage domain. Only thing is the overhead of the network filesystem that being either NFS/GlusterFS/ISCSI. There are some guides on how to setup oVirt using hosted-engine but to be honest its hard to find on the current site and searching on old.ovirt-.org doesn't work :-( Let me know how far you get and maybe I can help you further if you get stuck.
