Only via local DC or HCI with Gluster storage. There blogs on how to deploy with HCI. I would look them up in the past of this mailing list.

Hi Michael, You can create a local storage domain using the host's local storage drive. But, by design, local Data-Centers can have only a single host (i.e, you can't have other hosts using this storage). For local storage deployment, first create a directory on the file system of the host's local drive (#mkdir <DIR_NAME>), change dir owner to vdsm:kvm (#chown vdsm:kvm <DIR_NAME>). Then, put the host in maintenance, create a new Data-Center of local storage type, add a cluster to it and add the host you put in maintenance to the cluster. Activate the host and create a local storage domain. Elad On Fri, Aug 12, 2016 at 12:45 PM, Michael Cooper <mcooper@coopfire.com> wrote:

As Yaniv suggested, the Gluster Hyper-Converged solution [1] will give you the ability to have all hosts access the storage. [1] http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/engine/self-hosted-... On Sun, Aug 14, 2016 at 1:52 PM, Elad Ben Aharon <ebenahar@redhat.com> wrote:
