Re: [ovirt-users] Local storage with self-hosted mode
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?
Regards,
Maor
