Hello Matt,
probably the easiest setup to test/evaluate oVirt it to use ORB
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/ovirt-orb/
oVirt Orb | oVirt<https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/ovirt-orb/>
oVirt is a free open-source virtualization solution for your entire enterprise
www.ovirt.org
From version 4.2 you can setup a single node hyper-converged install but it requires more
skills and resources.

Introduction |
oVirt<https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/gluster-hyperconverged/chap-...
Chapter: Introduction. Hyperconvergence is a type of infrastructure system with a
software-centric architecture that tightly integrates compute, storage, networking and
virtualization resources and other technologies from scratch in a commodity hardware box
supported by a single vendor[1].

You could also use nested virtualization on KVM and virt-manager, use your host to provide
NFS, iscsi or gluster and then provide a nested VM for the engine and hosts.
Regards,
Paul S.

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.

Well, if you can live with a regular engine(not self-hosted), this
works:
