Hi Jason, Hosted Engine was designed to work with a shared storage since all hosts need to share information on their status, and by that support high-availability for this VM. If you do not need high-availability you can use RHEV appliance to get a VM running with the engine inside. Remember that failure of this host will kill the engine VM as well.

Hi Jason,
Did you try to create a new local Data Center, and add a local storage domain there? or it have to be on the same Data Center containing the hosted engine?

Is there any way to use local storage with self-hosted mode for VMs other than the engine? The interface does not seem to allow it. I can hack in local storage on vdsm, but its not discovered/used by the engine (so i assume this is because it keeps its own metadata). I tried using a posix domain but there seems to be an expectation that the posix domain is accessible to all other hosts.
My use case is 2 physical servers with no shared storage options, and we need fast I/O since the VMs are used for CI, so local storage is the ideal setup.
