I plan NOT to use shared storage or network storage and will be using local
storage of hosts to provision storage for VMs
How do i do this?
For example in this screenshot, no way to configure local storage
Thanks

This is for a private cloud and no thanks..i am okay with my local
storage..have the local storage in RAID 1 and have a dedicated backup
server with bacula doing continuous backup.
Having a network storage complicates things, and i dont want it..at least
not now...maybe in 3 years i may want it but not now for what i am doing.
So anyone willing to help with how to setup hosts to use local storage?
Thanks

As I already wrote to you you have to put the host into maintenance mode
in order to be able to configure local storage. Didn't this work?

This is why i like Ganeti because they are the only one that understand
there is a niche and support for clusters using local storage of hosts. I
mean not everyone wants a Shared/network storage for crying out loud.

For sure an All-In-One installation lets you configure a local storage
domain:
http://www.ovirt.org/Feature/AllInOne
I have one setup like this where I definied more local storage domains (aka
more mount points pointing to different disks with different speeds...)
I don't know if this can match your needs
I don't remember if you can configure local storage domain for a
non-allinone setup.
If not, I think it would be interesting to offer it as an enahncement for
future releases.
A possible workflow could be:
offer chance to add local storage only if the cluster is composed by only
one node and in that case show a big warning that adding a local storage
would prevent adding other nodes to this cluster therafter.
If trying then to add another node, show a message that it is not possible
as it has a local storage domain attached

Yes you can. Put the/a host in
maintenance, then create local storage
and move the host to the datacenter/cluster that has been generated and
bring it up. You can't have two hosts using the same local storage but
that is by design :-) No hosted engine too.
