Thanks Simone, I am currently trying to go through that as I found a wiki page that talked about single node HCI, Is there anyway to leave Gluster off the table and just use a local on host Storage Domain for simplicity?

Wanted to just close out this Thread and mention that using a self created gluster volume on the host itself was pretty easy and worked out well.

While i realize it’s not ideal, I created an NFS export on the single node for demonstration purposes. Very simple to do. At some point, we’ll be moving the storage to a NAS.

Can anyone tell me why a single node building using a locally hosted NFS server isn’t good for this use case?

AFAIK NFS in loopback can still cause deadlock under heavy memory consumption so you can try it for a test or demo while I'd discourage it for production environments.
