[ovirt-users] Local storage with self-hosted mode

[Doron Fediuck]

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.
