You can use DRBD with a cluster filesystem on top of that to store your vm image.

Thats why I have two standalone machines to run ovirt on. Im guessing this is not recommended? If not is there away to allow local storage and nfs based storage in a data center?

I have a dedicated box running ovirt engine. I would like to have the ability to run an additional box with ovirt engine on it for high availability of the portal. I realize this would most likely require I run a separate instance of postgres for the engine, however I was wondering if this is something that is officially supported?
